In a post to the ASSET (Adobe Secure Software Engineering Team) blog, Adobe Platform Security Strategist Peleus Uhley attempts to assure the world that Adobe takes security seriously and has been working hard to make Flash Player safe. He also seems to subtly shift blame for the latest rash of zero-day Flash-related attacks to shortcomings in older version of Microsoft Office.
