Constantin wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The exploit <a

agencies.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Similarly, it took just one extra day for Adobe Systems to patch the vulnerability with today&#8217;s\u00a0release of Adobe Flash Player 18.0.0.203 for Mac and Windows.<\/p>\n<p>Cybercriminals use Exploit Kits to attack known vulnerabilities in browser plug-ins, such as Flash Player and other Adobe software, and install malware on a victim\u2019s computer. \u201cThese attacks are typically launched from compromised websites or through malicious advertisements,\u201d warned Constantin.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re not sure whether a popup alert claiming to be
