Adobe Users Claim Slump In Sales Reason For Not Fixing Security Issues
According to reports there are some Adobe users that are claiming that the reason Adobe has not fixed an eight month old security issue is due to the slump in sales of Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Reader and other software. The security problem affects Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Reader and the Adobe Flash Player and solution providers agree that Adobe has been dragging their feet involving what they feel is a critical issue for security of the user’s computer. On July 22, Adobe released a security advisory to users regarding the vulnerability that exists in the current version of Flash Player v 9.0.159.0 and v 10.0.22.87 for Windows, Macintosh and Linux computer platforms. One solution provider has been keeping up with the eight month issue and with complaints and has stated that users are becoming discouraged with Adobe’s lack of attention to resolving the security issue and leaving computer users vulnerable.
