Adobe Flash on its way out?
I don't get down this way much, but this was something I found elsewhere (Voat.com) that I think needs exposure and this seems to be the place for it.
Facebook is getting ready to eliminate Flash once and for all. Firefox, which I use on occasion, has already done so. All versions of Flash are banned from Firefox because of security issues that Adobe still hasn't addressed even in the latest versions. Among other things, Flash is vulnerable to ransomware attacks. My landlord has experienced this so I know what it looks like--- you open your machine, all ready for another session of DnD, FB, Worpress or whatever-- and instead you see a screen telling you that the FBI knows all about the kiddie porn on your machine and they're coming to get you--- but if you pay a fee-- the "ransom"-- the problem will go away. Fun, ain't it?
Here's the story, take a look:
