Flash itself was discontinued in 2020 and is no longer supported. Therefore, any update prompts using Flash could be a security threat.

Fake Flash messages are being used as a cover for a new botnet campaign that installs a malicious browser extension, known as Cloud9. If you use Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge, you may be a target.
