Software vulnerabilities can be exploited by cybercriminals, yet software makers continually work to patch these vulnerabilities. Immediately installing software updates is essential for keeping hackers at bay and is often more effective than antivirus software. While it may be inconvenient to restart during updates, delaying these installations increases the risk of exploitation. Users should only install updates from trusted sources to avoid scams. Accepting updates can also serve as a mindfulness practice, emphasizing that current tasks can wait for crucial security measures.
Always make sure you're installing updates directly from the source. Right now, there are lots of 'fake update' scams making their way around the web.
Making sure your software is updated is a more effective way of keeping hackers at bay than paying for antivirus software.
The longer you wait to install a security update, the longer hackers have to exploit known security issues for their nefarious ends.
Accepting software updates can be, in a weird way, something of a mindfulness practice; it’s a reminder that whatever you’re doing can probably wait a couple minutes.
