The Adobe company released today an extremely important update for the flash plugin of OS X, with the role of solving a critical security vulnerability that allowed hackers to take control of Macs remotely.
Adobe's Flash is constantly attacked by hackers and, unfortunately, there are more and more vulnerabilities that allow its exploitation to take control of users' computers, Adobe always tries to quickly solve the problems.
Although flash is going to be forgotten in the coming years, at the moment many websites use it and it is necessary to see them, so users will continue to struggle with the vulnerabilities in it, even if Adobe try to solve them quickly.
Unfortunately, flash was and will remain a poorly thought-out software that works even worse, and for this reason many websites have decided to give it up, including the largest and most popular on the planet.
Adobe has released security updates for Adobe Flash Player. These updates address critical vulnerabilities that could potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system. Adobe is aware of a report that an exploit for CVE-2016-1010 is being used in limited, targeted attacks.
