- grishka 1y agoI'd like to remind you that there are still millions of people around the world using Windows 7 daily. The fact that some software is no longer supported by its developer doesn't mean it stops working somehow, or becomes radioactive.
- MYEUHD 1y agoIt becomes easier to exploit, as it no longer gets security updates; and vulnerabilities are publicly disclosed.
- grishka 1y agoYou can't really exploit something when its attack surface is nearly nonexistent, which is the case for most people who use an outdated OS on their personal device, for example.
- baby_souffle 1y agoWhat is it about unmaintained software on a personal device that somehow makes the attack service non-existent?
- grishka 1y agoEven if there's an exploitable vulnerability, the exploit has to be delivered to the target system somehow. You don't have much of an opportunity to do that with a device that doesn't have a public IP address. Most likely the user themselves will have to do something that would compromise their system, like visiting a website that would serve them an exploit for their particular combination of browser and OS.
