In the past couple of years, Adobe’s Flash Player has been identified as one of the most vulnerable software out there. Considering its popularity, the software was used for a plethora of services, making them highly vulnerable to hacks as well. It was this reason that companies started to move away from Flash onto other technologies. However, for those of you that still use apps that rely on Adobe’s insecure technology, we have some more bad news for you.
As of now, it is still unclear as to how many people have fallen victim to the latest exploit. However, as a security advisory, Adobe has warned that the vulnerability, if exploited fully, can potentially allow an attacker to take control of a system completely. The platforms which stand affected by the new zero-day bug include Adobe Flash Player for Desktop Runtime, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer 11 across Windows, Macintosh, Linux, and Chrome OS.
