Flash Attacks
It's the beauty of Web 2.0. There are more attacks on Flash now than ever before. Applications such as Adobe Air and Microsoft Silverlight, which allow the browser to be used in a more effective way, also increase the attack surface.
Naturally, the prolific use of Flash is one of the evolutions that make Facebook and MySpace so lucrative to attackers. As anyone with a profile knows, these technologies are extremely pervasive, as well as fun, when doing social networking. Unfortunately, a recent exploit in Adobe Flash has become a huge security threat. Experts say that so far hundreds of thousands of Websites have been compromised, including thousands of networking site pages, as the result of the Flash exploit loose in the wild.
