Welcome to Apple Discussions!

I would add that even 10.3.8 and earlier no longer get security patches:

Good security practices as explained in my FAQ:

Of course Mac OS 9 being as old as it is, would be an unlikely target for attack by hackers, and more unlikely than Mac OS X, even though Mac OS X's own security is better. Whether Mac OS X will ever become truly vulnerable though is a matter of much debate. I for one doubt it.

Apple has not though removed the updates for Mac OS 9. You can get them on this page:
