Hacking Team-derived Flash exploit is now in the wild hijacking PCs

Malwarebytes, which had already warned the exploit would be weaponised quickly, notes: “This is one of the fastest documented case of an immediate weaponisation in the wild, possibly thanks to the detailed instructions left by Hacking Team.”
