“Vulnerabilities like this one should remind users of the importance of keeping your systems current with security updates. Unfortunately, those who would most benefit from hearing this advice are also the hardest to reach. There’s no doubt that this vulnerability will persist and be exploited on devices that aren’t updated.”[/su_note][su_box title=”About Tripwire” style=”noise” box_color=”#336588″]
