End-of-life software
In Turkish: Desteği biten yazılım
Software or devices whose maker no longer provides updates, so new security flaws stay open for good.
A phone, router or operating system can keep working for years after its maker stops supporting it. It looks fine, but any flaw found afterwards will never be fixed.
Check the maker's website for support dates. Where you cannot replace something right away, keep it off sensitive tasks such as banking.
What to do
- Find out whether your phone, router and computer still get updates.
- Plan to replace unsupported devices.
- Avoid banking and sensitive logins on unsupported devices.
