[Fixed] Flash (Zero-Day Exploit)
Ok, Flash again. Recent news (Bones told us already somewhere) are really bad and the whole internet is speaking about it, even Steve Jobs in his grave.
Remove the Flash plugin from your machine, if not yet happened, now is the the time to bury it forever! Listen to Pidsley!
And then we can stop to post about Flash issues on this board like it happens on a weekly basis at the one of our friends from Siduction.
On Chrome at least make it "click-to-play", maybe the sandboxing can still prevent shit or disable it, too. For Firefox/Iceturtle and all other browsers that use its Flash plugin, it is time to say good bye, also for Chromium.

As from now on, we do not support any Flash related support questions.

Yes, kill it and bury it. I have removed that plague from all my machines, and of course it wasn't necessary for OpenBSD, as they smartly don't have that shit to begin with!
Re: Flash (Zero-Day Exploit)
Thank you, Ivan. Goodbye, Flash.
