IT Engineers to Exploit IT Security Flaws at Black Hat

Littlefish News

The Black Hat Security Conference is going to take place in Washington and will begin this weekend. IT engineers want to show some critical IT security flaws that can be exploited easily on the Internet by hackers. For example, the senior security researcher at IT company Foreground Security, Michale Bailey, is planning on using IT connectivity to conduct some interesting attacks against some popular websites. These attacks can be performed by exploiting some flaws in Adobe Flash and he says that "the point I will try to make is Flash is just as exploitable as any point on the Web." It seems that the websites know of this action and even though Bailey didn't mention their names, there would be social networks sites and others that have a great deal of visitors daily. However, the direct of product security at Adobe, Brad Arkin thinks that Bailey just wants to show some "common Web programming errors that developers would commonly make."
