  • MRT and Xprotect still receiving updates in much older OSs

    From Martin-S@21:1/5 to All on Mon Aug 1 21:10:56 2022
    Poking around a 2012 iMac running Sierra I noticed that MRT and
    Xprotect were still receiving regular updates, see About this Mac >
    System Report > Installations

    I was under the impression that *all* support stops for OSs older than
    2 generations past the current one. Sure there are no security fixes to
    apps and the OS themselves but I guess thiss is better than nothing.

    I’ve seen evidence that suggests updates to as far back as El Capitan have been taking place.
