Oh look, it must be Tuesday..

Critical security failure in latest flash player, on all platforms, already exploited in the wild.

Adobe, responsible for the security of Flash on some 96% of all machines, have a horrendously slow, blasé patching schedule.

Re: Oh look, it must be Tuesday..

I wonder how soon before Farmville or any other Facebook game is used to compromise users security?

I've never used any of those games. And the apps that I used to have (Friend wheel etc) have been deleted since Facebook changed the layout. They didn't really show up at all any more, so I just deleted them all.

I have click to flash on so it cannot get installed. I find that 90% of Flash requests are ignored. The only thing that still uses Flash that I use every day is the BBC iPlayer.
