Flash Vulnerability Could Compromise Your Aecurity

by Angelo on May 29th, 2008

As I was logging on to WoW earlier, I saw the security alert below on the Flash vulnerability. It was a scary feeling since I never want my WoW account hacked into. Flash is something I use and thought to be safe. Thankfully, there’s a fix so I highly suggest that all of you who use Flash upgrade to the new version immediately.

A recent vulnerability has been discovered in popular web-content delivery program Adobe Flash, and it could potentially be used to target World of Warcraft players and accounts. The newest available version of Adobe Flash, version 9.0.124.0, does not contain this vulnerability, and we recommend that everyone upgrade their Flash player as soon as possible by visiting the Adobe.com download page at the link below.

In addition, to avoid exploitation of this vulnerability, we have temporarily disabled the ability to post hyperlinks in our forums. Any links will need to be copied and pasted into a browser. We’ll continue to evaluate any potential security threats and take any steps necessary to ensure a safe and fun environment.

For more information on this issue, you can read the announcements from the Adobe security team concerning the threat at the links below.

And remember, don’t avail of power leveling services and purchase gold. These compromise your account security and are bannable offenses.
