Vulnerable programs are among the most commonplace ways to attack victims and steal personal data. Software with the greatest number of vulnerabilities includes Adobe Shockwave/Flash Player, Apple iTunes/QuickTime and Oracle Java. Oracle Java vulnerabilities have the highest impact: five out of those eight actively exploited vulnerabilities are found in Java Software. The best strategy to avoid potential potential risks related to vulnerable software is to keep your programs up to date, not to keep them out of date. The most alarming finding is that users of the three most vulnerable programs (Java, Flash Player and Adobe Reader) are highly reluctant to update to newer, safer versions.”]
