Maximum PC: The web can't move away from Adobe's Flash Player fast enough. Though efforts have been made to leave Flash behind, it's still a prominent part of the web. It's also still prone to what seems like an endless discovery of security holes. To that end, Adobe has released another update for its Flash Player, one that patches up no less than 23 security holes.
Malicious Word documents are found to be infecting Mac machines, a first such instance to be reported, and a fake software update of Adobe Flash Player is also doing the rounds.
Google told us in May that it would eventually block Adobe Flash Player content on Chrome. And today, the company is making good on its promise.
Maximum PC: I think it's safe to say that a lot of us are dreaming of the day when Adobe Flash becomes a footnote in the history of the web, but we're not there yet. However, the anti-Flash movement is certainly gaining steam. It's already dead on mobile, and earlier this month, Mozilla began blocking Flash in its Firefox browser by default due to "publicly known vulnerabilities." Now Twitch is talking about leaving Flash in the rear view mirror.
