14 DAY TRIAL // Adobe has just rolled out Flash Player version 20.0.0.286, so users running this piece of software are recommended to download it as soon as possible.
Unsurprisingly, there is no change log available in this version, and Adobe has only recently uploaded it to its servers, but it’s most likely supposed to fix some security issues or unknown vulnerabilities that have been discovered lately.
And yet, there are no reports of such known vulnerabilities, but we’ve reached out to Adobe to ask for more information and will update the article should new details be provided.
Adobe Flash Player, which is often referred to as one of the most vulnerable applications currently available, is running on millions of computers right now, so it’s critical to install new updates as fast as possible.
A recent report published by Bromium has shown that Adobe Flash Player vulnerabilities more than tripled in 2015, while Internet Explorer, which is also one of the most vulnerable applications out there, actually decreased the number of security flaws thanks to Microsoft putting more effort into strengthening its security system with the release of Windows 10.
Until more information is provided on this new release, everyone is recommended to download Adobe Flash Player and keep their computers up to date, especially because outdated versions of this application can lead to more attacks and successful exploits on Windows workstations.
