While individuals saw it as a necessary program, threat actors saw it as an opportunity, and security teams began to recognize it as their achilles heel. In fact, in 2010, it was claimed that 99% of web users had Flash installed. Millions have happily clicked the install button and run the software over the years. It didn’t take long for the pop-up message claiming that Adobe Flash Player was required to view content on a website to become familiar. Over the years, each new version offered additional functionality with new and imaginative ways to utilize the player, from games to movies, and even entire flashy websites, that provided visitors with a fun, interactive experience.
Rather than static sites, it allowed web designers to finally unleash their creativity - to run short animation clips and even introduce a limited amount of user interactivity on websites. Back in the days of dial-up when the world wide web was full of promise, and internet sites were pretty text heavy, Adobe Flash Player burst into life to change how we viewed online content.
