Adobe Systems Inc. warns users of “clickjacking” attack tactics to secretly turn on a computer’s microphone and Web camera. Adobe rated the vulnerability as “critical,” its highest threat ranking. Adobe will patch the bug in Flash 10, which already has been pegged for other fixes. Attackers could hijack seemingly-innocent clicks that, in reality, would be used to grant the site access to the computer’s Webcam and microphone without the user’s knowledge. Adobe recommends users access Flash’s Settings Manager using a browser to select the “always deny” option.”]
