That is correct.

Microsoft Support – Upgrade macOS to continue receiving Microsoft 365 and Office for Mac updates

"What if I don't update macOS to a supported version?

If you're on an unsupported version of macOS, your Office apps will still work but you would no longer receive any updates including security updates. For example, if you're on macOS Monterey, but later you don't update your macOS to a supported version when macOS Monterey is no longer supported, you won't receive any updates of any kind."

Thanks, but I won't get the Microsoft security updates and I believe Microsoft are ofter a target for malware?

I believe you are thinking of Windows. Office, especially on Mac, is not much of a target. You are far more likely to get a pfishing email than have an inherent security problem with Office.

Correct. Microsoft only supports the three most recent versions of macOS. You'll have to use something else such as the free LibreOffice.

You can continue to use your Microsoft apps on macOS 12.7.6. You just won't get any updates. But the apps are perfectly fine to use.
