“Meltdown” and “Spectre,” vulnerabilities help/fix

Hello iPod5thgen,

You don't want to be held hostage by obsolete software versions. I suggest you consider alternatives to Illustrator and Photoshop such as Logoist, Graphic, and Affinity products.

I wonder if Apple will bring out this fix for older Mac OS like Yosemite?

Nobody knows, but again you would need to deliberately download, install, and run something capable of exploiting the vulnerability... an exploit which has yet to be implemented and in all likelihood will never be implemented.

Of course it's always best to use the latest macOS version that your hardware can use, and if you choose not to do that then you forfeit those advantages. It's up to you.

This can also be done by websites and obscure scripts and whatnot. So i'm trying out something and upgrade to High Sierra. Got no choice. Don't want to risk this potential threat. Thanks for your time, all of you!
