More than one billion Android devices around the world are no longer supported by security updates, leaving them potentially vulnerable to attack.
Consumer watchdog Which? has calculated that two in five Android devices are no longer receiving vital security updates from Google, putting them at greater risk of malware or other security flaws.
Android 10 (which lacks a confectionery themed code name) is the most recent version, and while it and its predecessors Android 9 (Pie) and 8 (Oreo) are still in getting security updates, using anything below Android 8 “will carry security risks,” Which? said.
