Check Your Web Plugins for Updates

     Adobe Flash is, once again, a target.  There were zero day exploits found to be purveying via the always popular hosted web flash content targeted at both Firefox and Safari on Windows and Mac OS's.  Less popular, but still troubling, is an attack with embedded flash content in a Microsoft Word Document.  As always, you have to ask yourself why we even really need flash content in a Word document, but I digress.....
     In short, update your plugins, folks.  Should you want to check any of your plugins for any of your browsers, irrespective of your OS, use the Mozilla Plugin Checker.  Yes, that's right, even though it is from Mozilla, it works on IE/Safari as well as Windows/Mac OS.

While you are at it, buy a Mozilla shirt to support their open platform and the use of this great service.
