Adobe issued an emergency update on Thursday to its widely used Flash software for Internet browsers after researchers discovered a security flaw that was being exploited to deliver ransomware to Windows PCs.
The software maker urged the more than 1 billion users of Flash on Windows, Mac, Chrome and Linux computers to update the product as quickly as possible after security researchers said the bug was being exploited in "drive-by" attacks that infect computers with ransomware when tainted websites are visited. http://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-new...ttacks-n552826 more- http://www.google.com/search?client=...20Emergency%20 My Linux OS had flash update for me as soon as I logged on to my computer this morning..
