As if the Windows E
xplorer bug was not enough here we go again. An emergency Adobe Flash Player security update has released an emergency security update to repair yet another critical software flaw. Apparently the software has a flaw that allows hackers to takeover your computer! This flaw is named CVE-2014-0515 and impacts Windows, MAC OS and Linux computers.
In order to fix your computer and protect yourself you need to to visit the Adobe Download Center. To clear up any confusion this Adobe Flash Player fix WILL NOT correct the Microsoft Explorer bug.
Breaking It Down
Now keep in mind this problem is unrelated to the Microsoft Explorer bug I wrote about yesterday. But this Flash Player is yet another default program found on many computers owned by black people. Its likely you have it and don’t know it. And yes this flaw allows hackers to take over your computer. See bot, botnet and zombie. And that is why I do what I do. I encourage black people to get a little more familiar with their computer and their software. Learn what is there so you can see what’s not supposed to be there. I have said it before, if there is software on your computer you don’t use or don’t know what it is for then uninstall it. Read; Treat Your Internet Like Your Home parts 1, 2 and 3.
This is another one of those endless mistakes that software code writers simply can’t seem to stop making. I really don’t understand this. Apple is pretty good at keeping its code secure and its only rarely that you hear of an Apple specific code issue. So my question is; why can’t others emulate what Apple is doing? The hackers seem to find these holes every time. Do I need to stress that it is extremely dangerous to build a car with the gas tank in the passenger compartment? Well that’s the way I see software makers writing code. If a mistake is made the user gets burned…over and over again.
