If the device is explicitly past EOL what is the point anyways? Just to wait 60 days and hear they aren't going to do anything?

- winnona 2y agonot necessarily! If the 0day is bad enough the vendor may patch it or release further guidance - most recent case is Ivanti this week (https://cyberscoop.com/ivanti-vulnerability-cisa-kev/ https://cyberscoop.com/ivanti-vulnerability-cisa-kev/)
- slt2021 2y agolikely used by vendor as sales strategy to upgrade device: we will give you patch for this EOL 0day, but this will be the last one. Please buy new version and btw here is 20% discount code, you are welcome
- sidewndr46 2y agothey could offer to send you a $15 grubhub gift card for your trouble
- GTP 2y agoStill better than leaving devices unpatched. The end user still has the final word, can totally refuse to buy a new one if he/she doesn't think getting a new one is worth it.
