Introduction
Day by day hackers are constantly trying to steal private information
either by getting into the victim’s system by using different methods by
exploiting the software installed in the system or by some other means.
According to online news, more than 60 percent of Adobe Reader users have
unpatched versions, leaving them vulnerable to attacks. By performing routine
updates for their software, consumers can protect themselves, patching known
vulnerabilities and therefore greatly reducing the chance of being hacked.
Most often used software, such
as MS Office, Adobe Flash and PDF reader (as well as the browsers themselves)
are the major targets for exploits if left unpatched. Few time ago the fake
patches for, Mozilla, Internet Explorer displayed messages informing users that
updated versions and install the fake plugin to the user browser to sniffer
user password. For example, the page will tell the user that updating their
Flash version is critical. Once the user
clicks the fake update, it will download malicious content (like, for example,
the RAT (Remote Administrator Tool) to the victim’s computer, as well as
perhaps a rogue anti-virus, asking the user to pay in order to remove the
infections. Similar attacks are most often happen in the flash and adobe reader
.So, we should be careful before updating any software (Info Institute Org,
2014).
