SECURITY ISSUE 04: Software Not Patched

Software patches (updates) are used to fix any vulnerability (informally called "holes") discovered on software. When holes are discovered, computer software vendors will usually develop patches to fix the flaw(s).

- Make sure your Operating System (Computer OS) is up-to-date, for example OS X, Microsoft Windows, Linux, BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution), etc.
- Always obtain patches from legitimate (trusted) sources, for example software vendors.

REMEMBER! Patching your computer is like maintaining your car, if you do not do it, it may fail.
