| ALERT - Security Updates as of 12/15/21 |
| When Apple or Microsoft prompts you to do an update - you need to do it. |
| |
No one likes updates. There is a chance something unexpected will happen. But the security risks keep escalating.
An announcement was made 12/15/21 that the Apple iCloud is vulnerable to hacking, meaning all your content at Apple would be at risk.
Microsoft's Minecraft game is also affected, which would impact a huge percentage of computer users, though probably not many of you.
|
| You will be hearing about Log4j, the just-announced security breach. |
| |
Apple and Microsoft updates have already released patches for this flaw as part of their ongoing updates. |
| |
So update your computer, your phone, your tablet, your watch. |
