I launched the installer package from the downloads folder with command + o and was immediately given the security popup saying that the application was downloaded from an unknown source, and was I sure I wanted to open it. A file called 'Flashplayer.pkg' was downloaded, which now that I think about it, that should've been a flag because the real updates have always been in. I didn't think twice about clicking the download button since I know Spotify requires Flash to play, and I've installed updates in the past for that reason. It had the Adobe logo and seemed completely legit. It first appeared about a week ago in the form of a popup window on Spotify saying that I couldn't listen to Spotify content until Adobe Flashplayer was updated. I can find lots of info about a 'Flashback Trojan' that appeared a while ago, but I believe this is a new version of the thing that's gotten worse. This probably isn't typically what would go in this forum, but I think you need to know because there isn't much info on it that I can find, and it really caused complete chaos with Voiceover for me. I just wanted to share an experience I had with a fake Adobe Flash updater that contains some pretty scary and extremely annoying Malware.
