Adobe Fixes Critical Security Flaws In Flash Player

If you have not updated Flash Player in the last 24 hours, you need to do so now.

Quote


Adobe Systems has released a Flash Player update that fixes two critical vulnerabilities and adds an automatic update feature.

If left unpatched, the flaws could cause a crash and allow an attacker to take control of a computer, the company said Wednesday. The update is for Flash Player versions 10 and 11 and applies to all operating systems, Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and Solaris.

MasterCard, VISA Warn of Processor Breach
http://krebsonsecurity.com/2012/03/mastercard-visa-warn-of-processor-breach/
I read that article yesterday (from a link over at Wilders, IIRC), and it sounds like most of the improper activity resulting from the breach is in the New York City area, and directed more at corporate accounts than individuals.

I phoned my bank last night (which handles Visa) to confirm the problem wasn't likely to effect transactions up this way, and the service rep made the interesting observation that the U.S. is way behind most of the rest of the world in card security.  According to him, it's one of the very few countries still using just the swipe-strip ... banks in most others, including Canada, added embedded complex chips to their cards some years back.

That's because our banks here already know that if they run into a financial problem, someone will bail them out.....  ;D
