Adobe has introduced another version to its Flash Player software designed to patch critical security vulnerabilities. Flash Player 10 sofware fixes bugs that allows cyber attackers to employ clickjacking.
Clickjacking may not be widely popular among cyber crooks, but it created a lot of fuss since it was first thrashed out last month. The attacks made on Flash were among the most precarious. Hackers used various methods to manipulate the links their victims are clicking.
According to Robert Hansen, one of the security researchers who discovered the problem, a clickjacker has the ability to wiretap users’ computers, compel them to carry out online stock trades, delete blog pages, change a router or firewall configuration, create new webmail accounts, or even force them to download software. He further stated that the best way to resolve the clickjacking problem is to alter the way browsers work.
Hansen said, "Browser makers understand the problem and they’re trying to find ways to mitigate it."
