Patch your Flash Player

Adobe has issued a patch for a bunch of security holes in Flash - the stuff that makes YouTube the Shizzle Flippity Floppity Floop. Since this runs in basically every browser, all of Al Gore's Intarwebz is vulnerable to this.

You, too.

So get patching. The Bad Guys are exploiting this one. If you click on a video, you might get more than you expect.

Mac and Linux fanbois, too. You're less likely to have code targeting you, but it will run if someone wants to go after you.

Hat tip, Brian Krebs at Security Fix. The whole post is worth a read.

  1. Thanx - have FlashBlock installed on Firefox so it doesn't go unless I say-so, but I say Yes a lot. ;-)
