A petition on change.org, filed by IT professional Gary Longsine, calls for Apple to resume security updates for its discontinued AirPort routers. The petition highlights the vulnerability known as 'AirBorne,' which affects millions of devices and can lead to wormable, zero-click exploits. Without updates, these routers could become unsafe to use, potentially leaving users vulnerable to attacks or forcing them to discard functional devices. While Apple has historically provided patches for older products in critical situations, it is uncertain whether the company will address this issue, given the time and labor costs involved. The petition aims to gather 50 signatures and targets Apple CEO Tim Cook.
