Some folks here run largish systems that may be using these Cisco systems with serious vulnerabilities. Patch now if you're using them.

Excerpt:

"Cisco has delivered updates to address four critical flaws affecting its industrial routers.

Cisco has disclosed four critical security flaws affecting router equipment that uses its IOS XE and IOS software. 

The four critical flaws are part of Cisco's June 3 semi-annual advisory bundle for IOS XE and IOS networking software, which includes 23 advisories describing 25 vulnerabilities."

Are these routers that Apple sold? Or is it any router made by Cisco that an IOS device hooks up to?

Niether.  IOS is the operating system that Cisco uses for its hardware. iOS is the operating system that iPhones use.  The case of the first letter is different.

I get that Apples operating system is IOS. I have a WiFi Ranger Go AC router that seems to made by Mikrotik so I’m going to assume this will not effect me.

Thanks
