Adobe Acrobat Shouldn't Be So Buggy
Another day, another Adobe Acrobat vulnerability. I don't know about you, but Adobe's Update tool is a cheery presence on my computer, and I welcome its seemingly daily intrusion into my life to update software that I only use now and again. In case you can't tell, I'm being sarcastic.
But this is actually a serious issue. McAfee reckons that, by the end of 2010, Adobe Acrobat will represent the number one target for hackers who want to compromise your system. We might joke about it but these vulnerabilities are very serious for individuals and businesses.
Hackers have even begun to take advantage of the fact Acrobat is updated so frequently, sending fake spam e-mails to individuals claiming to offer updates. The situation really is a mess. Just what is the problem with Adobe Acrobat? Is it really pushed out of Adobe's door full of more holes than Swiss cheese? Or does Adobe merely have bad luck?
