A hackers group called Impact Team on Tuesday released a trove of data online after breaking into the servers of the Canada-based AshleyMadison last month.

The Ashley Madison hackers first exposed data revealing user names, emails, physical addresses, credit card numbers and more.

“However, having a personal email address linked to an account doesn’t mean that person is really a user of Ashley Madison”.

An SNP MP whose email address was among the millions released in a data hack on adultery website Ashley Madison has said it was “harvested” by hackers.

The recall came after cybersecurity experts Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek remotely commandeered a Jeep Cherokee to demonstrate the vulnerability of the vehicles’ electronic systems.

On top of that, an update by Adobe’s Security Bulletin team has revealed that the previous Flash Player update exploit can actually allow hackers to take control of your computer.

But the nail in the coffin so to speak is that Adobe itself stopped any development for Flash Player for mobiles because it just doesn’t match up to HTML5.

These have included exploits for jailbroken iPhones, Android tablets and smartphones and a previously undiscovered Adobe Flash vulnerability. What is this bug?
