Our MMO-loving readers out there may want to take some time out to update their flash players. It's come to our attention that there's a vulnerability in old versions of Adobe Flash that could be used to target online gamers of World of Warcraft, Age of Conan, and other such games.

According to reports, Flash players of version 9.0.115.0 and below have the vulnerability in them. Some sources online have said that this vulnerability potentially exposes the users to keyloggers.

Adobe's blog mentions that the latest version of Adobe Flash, 9.0.124.0, doesn't contain this vulnerability, so upgrading your Flash to this latest version would be a good idea. Just note that once you download the file, you'll need to shut down your browsers to install the update.

In any event, the sourced link below leads to the Adobe blog, where you can find more information on the subject.
