Adobe Flash Player which delivers high-impact, rich Web content, has attracted millions of internet users towards it by offering a rich web experience. In the starting of July, it is found that the security flaws in Adobe have paved way for hackers to get access to user’s computer easily. They just email PDF files with corrupted Flash video clips to hack websites and implant their malicious code in user’s computer.

When user clicks on the received clip, malicious codes get loaded in the program and start controlling the computer. They steal data, draw off cash from online financial accounts, spread spam and trigger promotions to sell fake anti-virus programs from the victim’s computer.

Adobe has taken enough measures to issue security patches once a quarter. It scrambles to develop an emergency patch by this Friday as they suspect the number of attacks could soar this week.

“The volume of cybercrime has been increasing, so we’ve stepped up our efforts to supply best-in-class security,” says Rob Tarkoff, Adobe’s senior vice president and general manager of business productivity.

Computer users were given reminders every seven days about software updates by Adobe; they were advised to install it immediately to safeguard their system.

Million’s of Facebook users are in danger zone. Koopface is a new computer virus spread through Facebook message system. It will send the message from the infected person’s profile to his friends, the subject line is like “you look just awesome in this new movie” it will open into another website to watch the movie after clicking the website it shows a message to need an updated Adobe Flash Player. But the virus will download while updating Flash Player. Infected systems have the possibilities of stolen Credit card numbers. “Only a very small percentage of Facebook users have been affected, and we’re working quickly to update our security systems to minimize any further impact,” – Barry Schnitt, the Facebook spokesman in Palo Alto.
