It's the cloud or bust for Adobe and its customers.

Can you feel the ground shaking? That's just Adobe, which today made an earth-rattling announcement regarding its plans to go all-in with the cloud. Adobe Creative Cloud is the company's new flagship offering, a re-imagining of the Creative Suite, if you will, which will no longer see new releases (so no Creative Suite 7, which many anticipated would be announced today) but will continue to be supported.

February is proving to be a very busy month for those tasked with the unenviable task of plugging Flash Player holes at Adobe. The Adobe Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) on Tuesday announced the availability of new security updates for the Flash Player. This is the third time this month that the company has had to release security updates for the ubiquitous plugin.

Security firm discovered exploit capable of bypassing Adobe Reader sandbox last week

Last year was a pretty decent one for Adobe Reader as it relinquished the dubious honor of being the most exploited software (as ranked by Kaspersky Lab) to Oracle’s Java. But the fact is it is still very popular among malware authors. For instance, last week security firm FireEye discovered an exploit capable of bypassing the software’s sandbox. Thankfully, Adobe, which wasted little time in confirming the zero-day exploit, expects to have a patch ready this week.

Security Firm Finds Zero-day Exploit Capable of Bypassing Adobe Reader Sandbox

Russian security firm Group-IB claims to have uncovered a critical Adobe Reader vulnerability that is currently being exploited in the wild by attackers in order to circumvent the ubiquitous PDF viewer’s sandbox, a security feature Adobe first introduced as part of Reader X nearly two years ago. Even though this zero-day vulnerability is said to have a few “limitations”, they don’t seem to be crippling enough to stop it from being sold on the black market for anywhere between $30,000 and $50,000.

infection Microsoft has suffered through more than a few security embarrassments over the years, but at least according to Kaspersky Labs, the Redmond based software giant is back in control. The security researchers have named the top 10 offending companies/products, and for once, Microsoft has been knocked off the list thanks to improvements in Windows 7 & 8. Automatic update mechanisms are citied as the top reason for the high profile exclusion, and have indeed done an amazing job of keeping hackers at bay.
