Home Assistant is not responsible for custom integrations and you use custom integrations at your own risk. + +The latest version of Home Assistant has extra protection to help secure your instance. + +**Update your Home Assistant instance as soon as possible.** + +To update Home Assistant, click on the Supervisor menu item to see if an update to 2021.1.2 (or newer) is available. If you do not see such an update yet, in the Supervisor, click on the System tab and click the “Reload” button at the bottom of the Supervisor card. After reloading the update should become available. + +If you don’t have the Supervisor menu item, follow the [update instructions](/docs/installation/updating/). + +**If you cannot update Home Assistant at this time, we strongly advise you to disable all custom integrations.** You can disable your custom integrations by renaming the `custom_components` folder inside your Home Assistant configuration folder to something else. Please be sure to restart Home Assistant after you’ve renamed it. + +If you need additional help with upgrading, we are happy to help you out on our [Discord chat](/join-chat/) server. + +Paulus diff --git a/source/images/blog/2021-01-security-bulletin/social.png b/source/images/blog/2021-01-security-bulletin/social.png new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..199a11ee9f2 Binary files /dev/null and b/source/images/blog/2021-01-security-bulletin/social.png differ
