A critical vulnerability has been discovered in Adobe Flash Player 10.0.45.2 and Adobe Reader/Acrobat 9.x, and could potentially be used to target World of Warcraft players and accounts. The newest available version of Adobe Flash 10.1, Release Candidate 7 (available at
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/
), does not appear to contain this vulnerability, and we recommend that everyone upgrade their Flash player as soon as possible. Earlier versions of Adobe Reader and Acrobat, specifically version 8.x, do not appear to contain this vulnerability, either.
For more information, please visit Adobe.com:

Get an Authenticator if you haven't got one already. Get your very own guard dog and secure your account at the same time. Visit
http://us.battle.net/security
for more info!
I would also like to add that this is NOT a virus. The only way to protect yourself from this kind of vulnerability is to keep your system up-to-date in all ways, including Flash.

All adobe products have vulnerabilities. I don't use any of them on my game PC, just not worth it.

In before the deluded mac fanbois.Too late. =p
Mac and Linux users still need to pay attention to phishing scams, though. Just because your computer's binary incompatible with almost all the malware on the market doesn't mean you can't screw up and be a total doof.

linux begs to differ.
Umm..
Users running Windows, Macintosh or Linux might all be open to attack.

And prone to the same Flash vulnerability. ^
The free
Secunia PSI
would have told you as soon as a Flash patch was available. This is in contrast to reading this thread and finding out now.

Windows is just as secure as linux and OS X
(Bit dated but the points remain valid) as long as you the end user are careful. Windows gets a bad reputation because it is the most popular consumer operating system and also the system stupid people end up on.
If you take the correct precautions Windows is just as secure as Linux and OS X though the article does notice a trend among Linux users as to being more secure due to their generally tech savvy nature. Also a lax attitude from OS X users due to the pseudo security they feel they have.
