92% of Windows PCs Vulnerable To Zero-Day Attacks On Flash
CWmike writes "More than 9 out of every 10 Windows users are vulnerable to the Flash zero-day vulnerability that Adobe won't patch until Thursday, Danish security company Secunia says. According to Secunia, 92% of the 900,000 users who have recently run the company's Personal Software Inspector (PSI) utility have Flash Player 10 on their PCs, while 31% have Flash Player 9. (The total exceeds 100% because some users have installed both.) The most-current versions of Flash Player — 9.0.159.0 and 10.0.22.87) — are vulnerable to hackers conducting drive-by attacks hosted on malicious and legitimate-but-compromised sites. Antivirus vendors have reported hundreds, in some cases thousands, of sites launching drive-bys against Flash."
The noscript author is an assclown who silently enables ads (And disables noscript) for his own financial advantage.
Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
I wasn't wearing any pants in the first place, you insensitive clod!
Interesting assertion.
It's also bullshit.
Oh, for crisake, give it a rest fanboy!
Except the same vulnerability exists for Mac and Linux users
Uh, hold it there, Professor. Not quite.
Unix users have privelege separation.
In times of universal deceit, telling the truth gets you modded -1 Troll
So let me get this straight. Computers running an OS are not 100% secure?
Wow.... Do you think the unix/linux users are aware of this? Cause they always tell me how secure linux and unix are.
Forgive the sarcasm, but do you folks ever read the crap you write about how secure linux and other nix systems are?
Look an OS is a program. A program is nothing more than a file full of words that tell a computer to do something, store something, act on something etc.
As long as the program is made up of words that say do THIS, i can write another program to tell the box to DO SOMETHING ELSE. PC Security, Network security, OS Security is nothing more than a door on a house made up of glass windows. eventually somebody will either pick the lock, kick the door in or in the case of Mac OSX, just break the damn windows. Please stop all the frivolous OS bashing and concern yourselves with demanding better security for ALL products.
