There is a new flash player exploit that is currently being used on more than 200,000 websites and can target and steal your World of Warcraft account. Learn how to protect yourself…
Yesterday, Adobe found a new exploit in their flash player (version 9.0.115.0). This exploit redirects flash users to to malware and keyloggers through embedded Flash.
It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you update your Flash player to the most current version in which the exploit is fixed. You can visit adobe.com to get the new version, you can find out which version you have, or update from right here.
The new “safe” version of Flash right now is version 9.0.124.0. This has been such a big issue that even on the WoW login screen today it reported news about this.
After you update your flash version you also will want to do a virus scan as well to be sure your computer is not infected.
Here’s to safe and happy gaming!
