Adobe Top Target Next Year (2010)

Flash and Reader products from Adobe will become the preferred hacker targets in 2010.  Networkworld.com notes that they’ll be preferred even over MS’s Office suite applications. (Wha-!?)

That’s like crazy talk.  I didn’t think I’d see the day….  The thing is, I didn’t think I’d see the day because I found it hard to believe that anything would be realistically supplanting MS Office.  And, it turns out that it’s true.  The reason why MS is giving over this dubious honor is because, “he software giant has tightened security in its recent OS releases, leading hackers to look for additional targets.”

In other words, there’s nothing (ahem) wrong with MS…it’s, in a sense, Adobe’s fault (yeah, yeah….they’re the victims here, I know).
