Is Macromedia Flash a security risk? |
|
A thread here links back to a site running a flash app, and when I clicked on its properties, there was a reference asking to take control of my camera and microphone.
A. Is this a default setting for Flash, or did the user intentionally program this capability?
B. This user has 19 posts, so I am suspicious.
