Flash note: Risks of using discontinued software

ENISA warns about the risks of using discontinued software, not only because of the lack of support from the manufacturer, but also from third parties, like manufacturers of anti-malware or other kind of software, or computer peripherals. This will lead in persistent exposure to vulnerabilities and lack of possibility to update peripherals or third party applications.
