The leading security provider in technology, McAfee, it warns that Adobe Flash and Adobe
Reader maybe a likely target for the hackers this year. These hackers
usually targeted Microsoft products to hack. They try to identify the
security loopholes in these files and try to compromise the security by
developing malwares and viruses that will exploit these applications.
But recently adobe flash and adobe readers are widely in use today and
therefore hackers have turned their attention towards these programs.
Another reason could be that Microsoft has continuously improved
their software and applications by providing patches and upgrades that
have reduced these loopholes tremendously. The CEO of Adobe has accepted
that hackers have turned their attention towards their range of
products.
McAfee has also identified instances where hackers have compromised
Apple’s Quicktime and Mozilla’s Firefox. Additionally social networking
sites such as twitter may also be a likely target.
