Flash is still widely used with many in the midst of making the switch to HTML5. Google has also chipped in to ensure that Flash technology hits the museum as soon as possible, announcing that the Google Display Network and DoubleClick Digital Marketing will completely go HTML5. Apart from that, it seems that Flash is bringing more trouble, as Adobe has released yet another emergency security update to fix certain critical flaws related to ransomware attacks.
Flash Player has proved to be at its most vulnerable state, with Adobe having released another emergency update just last month. Nevertheless, this update turns out to be just as vital as the previous one, and users are strongly advised to have the update installed on Windows, Mac OS X, Chrome OS and Linux powered computing devices. Notable fixes with the update includes flaws that allows the attacker to gain control of your computer via ransomware and malware. The vulnerability is exposed when a malicious Flash file executes codes to your computer, bringing potential harm and collecting private user data.
Full details regarding the security update can be found in the Adobe Security Bulletin here. If you’ve received any notifications of the update, it’s best to get it installed immediately. Till then, stay tuned!
