description: "Adobe PSIRT's short notice that Flash Player's clipboard interaction will change to blunt the 2008 clipboard-hijacking attacks, with the mitigation shipping in the final Flash Player 10 release. Points at the Flash Player 10 security-changes article for detail; it states the response, not the attack."

Here's a quick update to note that we will be changing the way Flash Player interacts with the clipboard to help prevent the potential clipboard attacks that have been reported recently. Please see the [following Article on security changes in Flash Player 10](http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer10_security_changes.html#head31) for more information. These changes will be available in the final Flash Player 10 release soon.
