Stop me if you’ve heard some version of this before.
Adobe has announced that will shortly release a patch to kill a Flash exploit that is being used as we speak. This exploit affects Flash Player version 20.0.0.306 and older for Windows, OS X, Linux, and Chrome OS. Windows 7 and Windows XP users are being actively targeted by malware writers exploiting the flaw which is what made Adobe rush to fix this. Now, if you’re running a version of Flash later than 21.0.0.182, then a mitigation for the attack is already in place.
One has to wonder exactly when the moment will come where people get tired of installing patch after patch to mitigate the ongoing security nightmare that Adobe Flash is and simply dump it once and for all. Take it from me. You don’t need Flash. So dump it now and thank me later.
