Imagine you’re a smartphone and you’re living your best life, taking selfies, browsing social media, and keeping your owner entertained. Life is good, right? But suddenly, a malicious hacker tries to break into your system and steal all your owner’s personal data.
If you haven’t been keeping up with the latest security updates, you’re like a house without locks, just begging to be robbed. That hacker is going to waltz right in and make off with everything you hold dear. Your owner’s sensitive information, passwords, and private photos could all be at risk.
But fear not, dear smartphone, because by keeping up with the latest security updates, you’re putting up a fortress of protection around yourself. With each update, you’re adding more locks, more security cameras, and more motion sensors. That hacker is going to look at you and think, “Nope, not worth the effort.”
