YoKenny Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Adobe Flash ads launching clipboard hijack attack Malicious hackers are using booby-trapped Flash banner ads to hijack clipboards for use in rogue security software attacks. In the Web attacks, which target Mac, Windows and Linux users running Firefox, IE and Safari, hackers are seizing control of the machine?s clipboard and using a hard-to-delete URL that points to a fake anti-virus program. http://blogs.zdnet.com/security/?p=1733 "Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school." - Albert Einstein IE7Pro user Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corona Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I get the latest Flash plug-ins from filehippo. If I run across a video or whatever that doesn't load or says I need the newest Flash player, I leave immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
