Adobe Flash Player Install for all versions Version 27.0.0.130
Not sure if the site has been hacked or was this a type-o? See the following:
file should be .exe not _exe
I don't want to download if the file has been compromised. I have many users that might attempt to rename the file to .exe
Please let me know if this can be fixed?
Thank you,

Hi,
Thanks for reporting. I'll check with the team that owns that page.

Are you distributing Flash Player within your organization? If so, the web (shim) installer, which you are downloading, is not the best install vector for distribution within an organization. The web/shim installers is a small file that then downloads the full Flash Player (and any other optional 3rd party software selected for download) silently in the background. Distributing Flash Player within an organization requires a distribution license (free for vast majority of use cases) and valid distribution license holders gain access to the full installers (EXE & MSI).

I have a distribution license that I do use to distribute Flash.
I do on occasion, have one-offs that I use the public, web installer download.
Thank you,
Brian
