Nearly 80% Of Users Vulnerable To Adobe Flash Attack

Most users haven't fixed their Acrobat Reader apps two weeks after Adobe issued critical patch, Trusteer says.

Adobe may have sped up its process of releasing security patches to its software, but most users apparently aren't applying them immediately or at all, according to new data released today.

Trusteer found that close to 80 percent of users are running older and vulnerable versions of Flash, and 84 percent, older and vulnerable versions of Acrobat Reader. The data (PDF) was gathered from Trusteer's 2.5 million users of its Rapport browser security service, 98.8 percent of whom have Flash active in their browsers.

So please be a good boy/girl and patch up your Adobe products:
