"Security researchers are warning that an in-the-wild exploit within the Adobe (NSDQ: ADBE) Flash Player has been planted within between 20,000 to 250,000 Web pages. If that wide range of potentially affected Web pages isn't enough disparity for you, try this on: it's not entirely clear what versions of Flash are at risk. Read on...
The attacks started from sites hosting the exploits (attack code) in China. But once these things get rolling, the front line spreads everywhere.
First, if you're a Flash media player user, and haven't downloaded and applied the patch from Adobe released last month: Do so now. If you're not sure, check what version of Flash you're running (from the "About Flash") in each of your Firefox and Explorer browsers. I had to do this seven times this morning. The most recent version of Flash is available here ." ~informationweek.com
