I just got an update from work that all Apple devices should be updated due to a common exploit that can allow a hacker to take control of them.
All of our MacBooks, iPads, iPhones and Apple TV devices are current and can be updated to patch the exploit. However, My wife and I both have the Series 3 GPS Apple Watches and it appears that Apple doesn’t provide updates for them anymore. They still work perfectly fine otherwise.
This caused me to come up with the following questions…
- How likely could someone remotely hack our old watches if all our other Apple devices are updated?
- If likely, could they use the old watches to access; passwords, iCloud, credit cards, local networks, etc…?
- Should I disable our current watches now and get ourselves new ones?
