According to cybersecurity firm Palo Alto Networks it discovered a fake Flash upxer that has been duping conscientious computer users since August. The fake upxer installs files to sneak a cryptocurrency mining bot called XMRig which mines for Monero.

During the crypto boom late last year it wasn't just hackers trying to subvert citizen computers for financial gain so were websites. Certain starbuck websites and The Pirate Bay were found to be feeding off the processing power of its users to make some extra crypto on the side. And whenever there's money to be made bad actors will try and find dubious ways to scam people for cash.

在去年年底的加密热潮期间,不只是黑客试图侵犯公民计算机以获取经济利益,有些网站也是如此。某些星巴克网站和海盗湾(The Pirate Bay)被发现正在利用其用户的处理能力,以便在暗地里进行一些额外的加密。每当有利可图时,坏人就会试图找到一些邪门歪道来欺骗人们进行牟利。

Unless it's directly from adobe website this isn't newsworthy. Users who download malware from unknown whatever sources are to blame there are millions of sources like that no need to mention the name flash here.

如果不是直接来自Adobe网站的消息,这个就不具有新闻价值。需要责怪的是那些从未知的来源下载恶意软件的用户。有数百万这样的下载资源,这里不需要专门提到flash。

There is no Flash requirement for browsers on Windows either. Just because some shitty website relies on that crap does not mean you "have" to install that shit.

Windows的浏览器也没有要求必须装Flash。一些烂网站依赖于那个破烂,这并不意味着你“必须”安装那个破烂。

Actually if a website requires the user to have flash installed in order to use that website then you need flash installed. I've been to at least 1 or 2 websites where nothing worked found out that I need flash. Once installed the website actually works.

实际上,如果一个网站要求用户安装flash以便能够使用该网站,那么你就需要安装flash。我上过至少1或2个无法使用的网站,然后发现是因为我需要安装flash。安上以后网站就能正常使用了。

Not a lot in this article particularly like how to tell if you are infected. I've had some problems with flash lately an online flash game I play freezes. I've used flash for many years I only download and upxe it from the Adobe site I learned that a long time ago same thing with Java. I also use Firefox and Chrome browsers I often have to "allow" flash to get it to work. I like to play games and watch videos Adobe Flash has always been an absolute must for me.

本文没具体告诉大家如何判断是否中了病毒。我的flash最近有一些问题,我玩的网上Flash游戏死机了。我已经使用了Flash多年,且我只从Adobe网站上下载和升级。我很久以前就认识到这一点了,对Java我也是这么做的。我也用Firefox和Chrome浏览器,我经常需要“允许”Flash才能正常使用浏览器。我喜欢玩游戏和观看视频。Adobe Flash一直是我的必备之选。

I play a game that works best in (and recommends) GOOGLE CHROME. It works well with Firefox but is a little slow. Every time I open it when in Chrome it says I need to enable Flash Player but does not in Firefox. Maybe Chrome is an issue?!?!?!

我玩的游戏最适合(并推荐)用谷歌浏览器(GOOGLE CHROME)。用Firefox也不错,但运行速度有点慢。每当我在Chrome中打开这个游戏时,它就说我需要启用Flash Player,但Firefox就不会。也许是Chrome的问题?!?!?!

Even if you download flash from the adobe website it installs bloatware along with it unless you opt out of it in the advanced install options

即使你从Adobe网站下载flash,它也会安装膨胀软件,除非你在高级安装选项中选择卸载它。

Anything that says flash player required I treat like malware and leave.

任何说需要用Flash播放器的软件我都将其视为恶意软件。

Flash should be removed from everyone's computer. There is no reason for Flash to exist now days.

每个人都应该删除电脑中的Flash,现如今已没有保留Flash的理由了。

Many onine games such as those in facebook etc. require flash player to run. It would be nice if software developers and some video developers would no longer incorporate flash as their player. HTML5 would be the way to go

很多在线游戏需要flash例如Facebook等网站,如果软件开发者和一些视频网站不将Flash作为网站播放器那就太好了,使用HTML5是代替Flash的方法。

There is no cure for the "click-me" virus. It's not just Flash. It's not just M$. It's not just Crapple or Mint - yes Linux gets viruses too. It's the nut behind the wheel. Say way you want. I use Windows 10 Enterprise. I have Windows Defender. I don't have any other virus scanner. I have an restore image in case something does go wrong. I haven't had to do a restore except to go back before I started when I wanted to try a lot of different software. I'm not sure about all the different sites out there but in the area you may experience trouble I am doubly careful not to click things. My advice is find a soft porn site and stay away from all the fetish sites. There are several nice safe sites for free porn. There is another rule you should follow - especially downloading and streaming movies TV and books. If it ends in exe DON'T CLICK - unless you expected an exe. Some of my books are supposed to end in rar yet I get .rar.exe when I download. Safe surfing is the key. Having a back-up image is your insurance. Now as to the "you're locked out - pay me or else" virus that is definitely a "click-me". Shame on you.

“点我”这个病毒无法根治,不只是Flash、windows、CrApple或是Mint ——是的,Linux也会中病毒。会中病毒是使用者的错,而不是电脑系统的错。随你怎么辩解。我使用的是Windows 10企业版。我有Windows Defender,没有任何其他的病毒扫描软件。当然我有一个系统恢复节点以防出现问题。我没有必要恢复系统,除了我要尝试使用不同软件的时候。我不能确定所有的网址都是安全的,但是在有些危险的网址我会加倍小心,不会乱点击。我的建议是找一些软情色网站,远离所有的恋物癖色情网站。要知道是有几个不错的免费色情网站啊。并且你应该遵循一个规则——特别是在下载电影、文件和电子书的时候,如果文件以exe结尾那么就不要下载,除非你知道它就是exe格式的。我下载的电子书一般都是.rar结尾的,之前我发现了一个以.rar.exe结尾的文件。安全上网是关键,有个系统备份是你的安全保障。如果你中了“勒索病毒”,绝对是因为你乱点,是你的错。

And never let anyone else use your computer. I use my computer only and have never had a virus .

并且绝不要让任何人用你的电脑。我的电脑只有我自己用,从来就没有中过任何病毒。
