Should I Update Flash?

CybersecurityArticle

Spoiler alert: Get rid of Flash.

Ok, here's the thing. Adobe Flash was an add-on to most web browsers back in the day. It really enabled web sites to do a lot.

It especially makes it easier for bad guys to do bad things. In fact, both Microsoft and Adobe (and honestly everybody else in the industry) strongly recommended removing Flash from all computers and web sites.

And yet...there are still millions of users, especially in the web-based game world, still using Flash. And a ton of bad guys still taking advantage of the vulnerabilities.

So stay the heck away from Flash, and unload it from your computers! Except Flash Gordon, cuz  Ah, ah, He'll save ev'ry one of us
