You might recall that earlier this week a critical Adobe Flash flaw with no known fix was disclosed. Adobe to their credit have now come out with a patch for this flaw. If I were you and still for whatever bizarre reason running Flash, you should install right now.
Here’s the deal. This patch is going to protect you until the next flaw comes out. Then that will get patched, and the merry go round starts again. The fact is that Flash isn’t secure, and if you run it you are at risk. Do yourself a favor and dump Flash. You’ll be more secure. Oh, if it helps you to make the call on whether to keep Flash or not, here’s another fact. If you use Google Chrome, this exploit bypasses the sandbox that Google has created to stop Flash related exploits from harming you. I guarantee you that this will not be the last exploit that does this. That should REALLY scare you.
