“In recent years, Adobe applications including Adobe Reader and
Flash Player have been aggressively attacked by those looking to
exploit PC users. In response, Adobe has issued a long list of
patches as zero-day exploits emerge. Adobe hasn’t just been
reactive to the threats, however, they’ve also taken steps to
secure their code to make their applications safer and less of a
target for attackers.“The cliché is that bad guys rob banks because that’s
where the money is,” Brad Arkin, senior director of Product
Security and Privacy at Adobe said. “Well, bad guys go after our
software because that’s where the users are; that’s part of the
success of having our software everywhere is that it paints a
bullseye on us.”
