Is using an outdated macOS as dangerous as using an outdated version of Windows when the machine is connected to the Internet?
People just target macOS less.
Like Apple was shipping a year old vulnerable version of java at some point, and their update mechanism still sucks compared to everyone
The only reason it's more secure at this point, is because they've made it extremely difficult to install things from outside the app store by default. If anyone else forced you to jump through as many hoops as they do, they'd be hit with an anti trust lawsuit
Yeah I was thinking so. My friend is at least using the newest Firefox instead of the outdated Safari, so I think that eliminated one major attack vector at least. Thinking about convincing her to install Linux mint tho
Yes
