Heh, another Windows problem eh? Don’t see any Apple products listed in the article.

I don't know of any routers running Microsoft Windows ... do you?

USconservative, I do not know of any routers running Windows, but there are plenty of routers that no longer get upgrades from the manufacturer. But there are lots of IoT devices that run one of the Embedded Windows OS, and that is just the start of problems.

Much of the IoT junk coming from Asia may be running a Linux variant but poor programming practices will leave a device wide open.

Just as on a Mac, the underlying OS may be secure in a certain configuration but any dependent programs also need to be secured and regularly updated.
