Apple discovered a vulnerability in the firmware of the AirPorts that could allow attackers to execute commands on the affected devices.
Luckily, it’s a snap to update your devices. Just go to AirPort Utility, and there will be a small, red notification next to the devices that need to be updated. Just click on that device and then on the “update” button for each device, and they will automatically update. Continue the process for each AirPort on the network.
Today’s attacks are multi-pronged. That’s why you need a layered approach to security.
Norton software blocks web-based attacks at the network level, before they ever reach your PC.
Now you can help protect against malware with Norton AntiVirus Basic.
