Do you mean ransomware? Why do you connect it with Flash Player or Adobe at all? They certainly do not make it. Fake updates may be a source of malware, however.

The October 2019 article you link to states:

The exploit kit attempts to abuse CVE-2018-15982, a use-after-free vulnerability, within the browser to specifically target users of Flash Player versions 31.0.0.153 / 31.0.0.108 and earlier.

CVE-2018-15982 was addressed in Dec 2018 with the release of 31.0.0.153 and 31.0.0.108. See https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/flash-player/apsb18-42.html,

Please ensure you are running the most recent version of Flash Player. To find the most recent version for the operating system/browser you are using, refer to https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/about/.
