Well, well, Flash just keeps making news.. According to ZDNET the offending Application that brought down the Vista Machine in the big hacking contest was none other than Adobe's own Flash product. To be fair it could have been some other product just as easily as Flash, but this isn't the first ZDNET story about problems with the Flash plug-in. I blogged earlier about another ZDNET blogger having trouble with Flash...
It's scary when you hear about these 0 day exploits, especially on a plug-in like Flash which supposedly is installed on 98 % of the browsers out there.. It's a very naked and vulnerable feeling when someone can take over a machine, and in this case many more due to the ubiquity of the plug-in. I have said it before Adobe and Microsoft should work closer to eliminate these kinds of problems.
