It's important information propagated by the US government.

Many folk just don't understand how sophisticated the 'bad guys' have
become - they can run rings around the average computer user.

I'm sure they can, but most of them don't waste their time on the
diminishing number of people using older computers, who've usual;ly
been around long enough to know that you shouldn't open unsolicited
e-mail attachments and things like that.

An updated O/s probably wouldn't run on my computer -- not enough
resources. People are using Windows XP because they aren't rich enough
to buy a new computer every few months.

IIRC, I started using Windows XP when it was first introduced in 2002 -
it really is 'old hat' now! If you drove a motor vehicle of that age you
might well expect it to suffer more breakdowns than a new or nearly new car!

Perhaps.

I drive a 2001 Subaru Legacy, for the same reason. It hasn't broken
down yet.




Internet browsers and apps. Both are access points for criminals to
enter your devices, so it’s important to keep them secure.

I downdated my browser when it got too bloated to run on my OS. The
newest version tells me it won't run at all, get a new computer.
Whuich means getyting a new2 OS, and finding that hal my software
won't run on it.

Then it's probably time to change your software too, Steve! ;-)

Send me US$ 10000 and I'll do it.
