Flash Warning - Upgrade Now

Posted 29th May 2008 11:09 AM by Rushster

Blizzard has issued a warning in-game for all users to update their version of the flash player to the latst version as apparently older versions could contain an exploit which would allow access to your WoW details. As most browsers have flash installed we strongly recommend you get the latest version installed now from the Adobe website.

I saw this yesterday and from what I was reading it affected the latest versions of flash players. If you have IE, you can just disable flash. If you have Firefox you can use Flash Block. Adobe has an uninstall program to remove flash if you want to uninstall it.

New information is still coming in on this:
