Warning! Adobe Flash Outdated. Security Risks. Please Update Now.

Hi,

I'm having the exact same problem as well...it looks like it's spreading through my network somehow as my laptop (running windows 7), iPad, and samsung galaxy s3 all have the same pop up no matter what browser I'm using. Any help would be greatly appreciated if anyone knows how to fix this. I'm worried this malware or whatever it is, is stealing information.

Do all the devices share a router or DNS settings ?. Can you check on another network connection ?.

On the MBP, can you paste a screenshot of the message, and examples of sites where you see it ?.

On differing networks (assuming no common dns and un-modified phones) it's hard to see what would cause this on both mbp and 2 different iphones. Do these messages link to any website in order to 'update' ?.

Ok, I now see a few others with that same redirect & similar message, I wonder if there's an issue with an isp or dns over more than one network connection. Have you tried setting dns manually for one or more phones/computers, then clearing cache etc & trying again ?. I'd suggest google's for testing (8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4).

There is no such site and if there was it would be legit as there isn't any known way to spoof a primary URL such as "adobe.com". I suspect it is displaying that URL, but if you hover over it in OS X or click and hole it with iOS you will see the actual link it directs you to.

Same thing has been happening to me since Saturday. I posted this on stackexchange and it seems to be malware attacking your router. I've attempted bypassing my modem and connecting directly to my modem, but the issue persists.

Did you mean to say bypassing your router and connecting directly to the modem? I suspect you would have to change your DNS settings and perhaps flush the DNS cache to make a difference.

Since you said the same thing was happening to you then you must be using the same ASUS RT-N56U as the OP which has long been known to be vulnerable to attack, see Taking over the ASUS RT-N56U....

That article says there is no firmware update to fix it, but looking at the ASUS RT-N56U Support Download page, there have been at least three updates since then, one of which addresses some sort of vulnerability, so make sure yours is up-to-date.

I would also log into the router and check to see if the DNS settings have, in fact, been changed.
