Adobe Warns of Flash, PDF Zero-Day Attacks
InfosecWarrior writes "Adobe issued an alert late Friday night to warn about zero-day attacks against an unpatched vulnerability in its Reader and Flash Player software products. The vulnerability, described as critical, affects Adobe Flash Player 10.0.45.2 and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh, Linux, and Solaris operating systems. It also affects the authplay.dll component that ships with Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x for Windows, Macintosh, and Unix operating systems."
Completely agree. Over the years I have developed a complete disdain for Indian developers. The majority of these guys have no idea what they are doing and have next to zero experience. I have learned to expect to be let down when working with a team of Indian developers as every project I've ever been on where work was out-sourced to India, the Indian team has failed to deliver an acceptable product, leaving us to pick up the pieces. I would rather work with college interns any day of the week - they at least care about doing their job well. Unfortunately, the management types can't see beyond the cost savings and don't understand the concept of 'you get what you pay for'.
Granted, there are certainly quality developers in India, but the majority of these guys are farmed by the dozen to be nothing more than coding monkeys and have next to zero talent.
Of course this is a troll comment because it's not PC, but its an unfortunate truth in the IT world today. It just really pisses me off, so I had to rant...
Don't worry, Michael Crawford (aka Super Debugger aka Jonathan Swift aka Jesus h-Bar Christ aka hotcoder@gmail.com) will solve the software problem. Solve it? Yes. He's one of the best (if not the greatest) debuggers ever. He can find most bugs by merely reading the source code.
Software failure is not a technical problem but a human problem. Michael Crawford realized this and has developed the Crawfordian Psychoanalysis Manifesto which will end the software problem once and for all. He will fix not just bugs in code but bugs in the mind
I am absolutely serious.
Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
