To those worried about the recent flash security scare…

Don’t worry too much, adobe flash has loads of vulnerabilities,

If you’re worried about that one, there’s a suspected buffer overflow flv load code in the vm for as2 I haven’t told anyone about as well


Basically every time when your developing for the flash player, and it unexpectedly
crashes there a good chance it’s a bug, and there a slightly slimmer chance it’s exploitable,

Moral of the story, flash block/no script + Firefox, and only allow flash to run on trusted websites,

For the customers they will require a big scare on a major website, some one to hack onto msn and insert a malicious flash object on the website

Or more easily done by opening a public wireless access point and simply modifying all html page traffic passing through to have your 1px by 1px little swf

People eventually will treat flash like exe’s from some website, you wouldn’t (or at least definitely shouldn’t) download and install “adobe_cs3_warezed.exe” from www.allmycracks.com

give it time, maybe a year or two, and several thousand hacked credit card accounts later
