I wonder what will happen to old websites I built with ACF and did not touch for years? Are they vulnerable now, as owners cannot get updates for ACF?

I had to login to several sites and make sure that the plugins would not auto-update. This is pretty much like a rogue actor taking over a plugin.
The slug hasn't changed so it will receive updates (from SCF repository, now under the control of Automattic).
If you used ACF pro then the plug-in is downloaded from ACF website.
But.
The obvious next move is to put code in the core that would degrade ACF pro.
