description: `Many of the most damaging hacks in recent history were only possible because someone failed to update software. While update notifications delivered by your smartphone, computer, and other internet-connected devices can be disruptive, *applying* those updates in a timely manner is the single-most effective action you can take to protect yourself from these types of attacks.

|
|
|
\n\nYou should apply software updates to every device you own as soon as they are made available, and develop a habit of checking for updates on devices that do *not* notify you of available patches to ensure their security.`,
