macOS latest security update — confusion re updating
Hi,
I’m confused about which OS to upgrade to following the security update issued recently to close a vulnerability reportedly exploited by spyware built by NSO Group.
My laptop spec is: macOS Sierra Version 10.12.6, MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5, Memory: 8 GB 1600 mHz DDR3.
In light of the recent security issue, I am concerned about being on Sierra. When I go to the app store, no updates are listed there.
I use some software that is not compatible with Big Sur. However, if Big Sur is the only way to make my Mac secure then I would update to it.
But first, I wanted to check: if I upgrade to Mojave, is there a patch that is equally secure as upgrading to Big Sur?
I am open to any suggestions if my questions above do not represent the best solution to this problem.
Thanks very much in advance!
