Adobe Flash Exploit Could Log Keystrokes

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i-thought-adobe-was-good-in-a-wreck dept.

Kenyon Lessi writes "Adobe has issued three critical security updates, one of which is designed to stop a problem in the way the Flash player interacts with browsers, which could result in users' keystrokes being transmitted to attackers. The problem affect Adobe Flash Player version 9.0.45.0, 8.0.34.0 and 7.0.69.0, as well as their earlier versions running on all platforms."

    You'd think that it would have occurred to them that they were putting a Flash ad on a page discussing a major flaw in Flash. Of course, they just want to get paid and don't really care about you, so I can't say I'm all that surprised.
    Or...maybe the world isn't as evil of a place as you think, and the people writing the article aren't the same people that develop the website? Maybe they don't even know how to use Flash and just write copy?
