Flash has a security vunerablity.

"Initial reports indicate this vulnerability is going to be targeting WoW players and accounts. The code is easily implanted in websites through a seperate vulnerability, but the new version of Flash has the major vulnerability fixed."

Versions under Flash Player 9.0.124.0 are vulnerable.

To see if you are vulnerable, look here:

If you need to update, then that can be found here:

Wow, the annoyance of using Firefox with AdBlock and NoScript may finally pay off. I absolutely hate the micro managment of NoScript! but for reasons like this it's worth it.
