Oh great. Another eleven or twelve “updates” of Adobe flash I have to install, with an attendant eleven or twelve times Adobe tries to slip Chrome past me.

Adobe announces an update to Adobe FLASH. . . fixes a vulnerability which can allow a REMOTE hacker to take over both Windows 8.1 and Apple Mac OS X computer. . . for which there are ACTIVE Exploits in the wild for Windows computers! So far, no one has seen any exploits for OS X, but that does not mean they are not possible!
Users of both platforms should UPDATE or DELETE ADOBE FLASH IMMEDIATELY! — PING!
Apple OS X AND Microsoft Windows 8.1 SECURITY Ping!
If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.

I removed flash a few major exploit announcements ago. I haven’t missed it.

Got an assignment for you guys.... this is important. FLASH has a big hole in it and we need to get Windows users to either update it or delete it! Can you guys ping windows users to this thread?

Yesterday when I powered up my Windows 7 IE11 desktop, a Flash player update screen popped up. I let it install (minus the annoying "Do you want this default browser, search engine, yada yada yada" pitch).
Checked just now, and I have version 16.0.0.296, which I assume patched the vulnerability. Will check the Windows 8.1 laptop that my wife uses in a few minutes. Thanks very much for posting your valuable and timely threads!

"allow remote attackers to take control of Macs or PCs, urging users to update"So if ya see your protection pop up to update DON'T!
Like email always click thru your OWN tray icon, not a pop up.
