If you’ve been putting off updates, now's a good time.
In the past few weeks attackers have hit serious flaws in PHP, the Linux kernel, Windows 11, iPhones &iPads, Chrome, popular routers, and AI tools like Langflow and Ollama. Some Python and npm packages were also poisoned with malware.
Take 15 minutes and go through what you own or run:
- Phone, tablet and laptop: install every pending update
- Browser: update it and relaunch
- Router and modem: check for new firmware or possibly replace.
- Servers and Docker containers: update images and packages.
- AI and LLM tools: update them, and never leave them open to the internet.
For each one, decide if it needs an update, an upgrade, a settings change, or to be shut off until a fix exists.
Not sure if something you use is affected? Search its name + "security update", ask your AI bot, or check one of these lists below:
