Adobe Flash has been a "pariah" in the operating system for a long time OS X of the Apple company, the software being tolerated only because of the large number of websites that use this technology to render content and this despite its various security problems, which are also combined with the major performance problems it generates during use.
because Adobe Flash is far from recommended for use, Apple still tolerates it if it is constantly updated by users, so starting today OS X will automatically disable any version lower than 17.0.0.169 on the latest versions of the operating system for Macs, while in the case of older ones, version 13.0.0.281 will remain the only one supported.
To block these versions of Flash the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), brings into discussion the security problems that Adobe's plugin generates for users all over the world and of course he is right, the software has been repeatedly exploited by hackers to obtain user data, and this is not the first decision of this kind taken by those from Cupertino.
Due to security issues in older versions, Apple has updated the web plug-in blocking mechanism to disable all versions prior to Flash Player 17.0.0.169 and 13.0.0.281.
If you have a Mac on which you run OS X, regardless of the version, then on this page you will find the latest version of the Flash plugin that you can install, Apple's recommendation is to update the software as soon as possible, if you want to be able to use it in the future to browse the Internet and view content available.
