• Flash (in) security

    Posted on May 16, 2010 at 04:52 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    Once again, Ed Bott hits the nail on the head in his ZDNet blog “How Secure is Flash?”

    Flash is more ubiquitous than Windows. But it’s riddled with security holes.

    Way back in October 2008, my Windows Secrets Newsletter column talked about Flash cookies and their inherent insecurity. I don’t think anything has been done to fix it. Adobe didn’t listen, and apparently doesn’t care.

    The world needs a good alternative to Flash. Let’s see if that happens sometime soon.
