UPDATE: Adobe has pushed out an update to fix this. Just go to the site here and update :-)
Please disable Adobe Flash until further notice. A group of hackers have hacked into the program for it and leaked a vulnerability that lets a malicious program do whatever it wishes to your computer via flash.This is currently ranked as a critical rating by Adobe.
These can mean forcing different sites to appear with flash on it (Screamers or revolting videos) and possibly encrypting your entire HDD.
As of writing this post (July 8th, 2015), the CERT/CC is currently unaware of a practical solution to this problem.
Please, do not open any untrusted flash content. Try to avoid opening flash content in general. I am begging you to share this information. Make your own posts, tell your family and friends, or anyone you know who has a computer. This is for you and your computer’s safety.
