Adobe Flash Vulnerability Threatens Bitcoin Users' Security

     Computer security remains an important issue for everyday consumers and security researchers alike. Some vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash could allow attackers to plant malicious viruses on personal computers, which could have serious consequences and even affect Bitcoin users.

     Adobe Flash, a plug-in commonly used for video playback on the Internet, has been a controversial topic over the past few years . After the launch of the new HTML5 standard, Adobe Flash seems to be no longer necessary, but many video websites around the world are still using this outdated solution, which will cause CPU usage issues in various browsers on Windows 10 .

     Despite the best efforts of Adobe Flash developers to fix the vulnerability, sporadic bad issues still occur. It is only a matter of time before hackers exploit the Adobe Flash vulnerability to break into personal computers.

     It is still unclear what the potential impact of the Adobe Flash vulnerability is on Bitcoin users. We know that usually this type of attack is done by installing malware on a personal computer, which will run specific files to record personal encrypted information and even automatically search for Bitcoin wallet files.

This is not the first time that Adobe Flash has exposed security vulnerabilities. As the most widely used service plug-in, Adobe Flash will undoubtedly become the first target of hackers. Even though HTML5 has appeared, it still cannot prevent Adobe Flash vulnerabilities from being exploited by hackers.
