Debian GNU/Linux 8 “Jessie” Will Reach End of Security Support on June 17, 2018

According to a security advisory posted by developer Moritz Muehlenhoff on the debian-security-announce mailing list, the Debian GNU/Linux 8 “Jessie” operating system series will no longer receive regular security updates as of June 17, 2018.
