Adobe Flash Player Download Warning: Malware Disguised

This is a warning to all those that are getting flash player downloads; Adobe fake flash player downloads could leave you with serious consequences, especially leaving you with malicious payloads.

You need to know that Malware is being disguised as a Flash Player download, Adobe responding to malware versions of “flash player” downloads that are being posted on community sites like twitter for example, have posted the following caveat on their site.

There has been coverage from the security community of a nasty worm on many popular social networking sites that is using social engineering lures to get you the user to install a piece of malware, and according to reports the worm posts comments on these such sites that includes links to a fake site. If this link is clicked and followed, users will be told that they need to update their Flash Player. The installer, posted on a malicious site, of course installs malware instead of Flash Player.

WARNING: DO NOT download Flash Player from any other site unless it is adobe.com, and we mean any piece of software such as Quicktime, Windows Media Player, Reader etc. Twitter’s security people are working on a fix right now.
