Adobe Flash Player has entered the stage

Adobe Flash Player has entered the stage

 
Adobe Flash Player can be smoothly applied to various platforms, but it is because of its extensive application and its own vulnerabilities that it is always favored by hackers. This time is no exception.
For a long time, hackers have always liked to use vulnerabilities circulating in underground networks to launch various attacks to users of Adobe Flash Player.
Adobe has made great efforts to improve its own security system, which is undeniable. However, for Internet users, Flash is no longer secure. The existence of Adobe Flash Player is a potential security threat to some extent.
Recently, Adobe Flash Player was revealed to have a serious security vulnerability, which could pose a huge threat to the affected system, attackers may even be allowed to gain the highest control of the system. In middle March, Adobe just released a major fix for Flash Player and fixed 18 major vulnerabilities in one breath. However, we never expected that this would have been over for half a month, and we found new vulnerabilities (not new, but already exist on the underground network, but not officially discovered ).
French security researcher Kafeine, FireEye's Genwei Jiang, and Google's Clement Lecigne jointly discovered this vulnerability, this vulnerability exists in Flash Player 21.0.0.197 and earlier versions on Windows, OS x, Linux, and Chrome OS. Its Vulnerability Number is CVE-2016-1019, which affects Windows 7 and even Windows XP platforms.
Adobe has confirmed that the new security vulnerability in Flash Player has been discovered and used by hackers.
Update Adobe Flash Player software
Adobe engineers began to urgently develop patches for this security vulnerability, and called on users to first update to Flash Player 21.0.0.182, said this version can reduce the threat of CVE-2016-1019 vulnerability, we plan to release a version update as soon as April 7 to replace the problematic version.
Similar to Microsoft's practice, Adobe usually releases security patches on the second Tuesday of every month, but this time it is prepared to release emergency security patches in advance, this action also highlights the severity of the vulnerability.
The endless updates and upgrades of Adobe are insufficient to ensure the security of users. It may be time for users to stop using Adobe Flash Player or completely uninstall Adobe Flash Player.
Whether you believe it or not, it has become a fact that Adobe Flash Player has entered a desperate stage and its era is coming to an end.
Although Adobe Flash Player strives to strengthen its security system to prove its reliability to major companies, it has not played a significant role.
In last January, YouTube announced that it no longer uses Adobe Flash Player as its default setting, but uses a safer HTML5 video Player.
In last June, Facebook's Security Director publicly called on Adobe Flash Player to go into history.

 
In last July, Firefox detected a critical security vulnerability caused by Adobe Flash Player and completely banned all versions of Adobe Flash Player.
In fact, Google Chrome has blocked FLash advertisements that are automatically played.
Do we really want to say goodbye to Adobe Flash Player?
