Woah, I didn't hear about this. It has to be pretty serious if Adobe themselves are suggesting to uninstall the program.

I'm not entirely sure what to do, honestly. I'm the kind of person who never expects something like this to happen to them, and I basically risk it. I'm really on the fence about this, however. This specific situation is really concerning because they only have "hopes" to fix the exploit, which makes it sound like they don't seem to understand how the exploit works. They only know the unfortunate outcome. You would think that they would be analyzing the exploit by testing it out and through that, discerning a way to fix it.

I'm leaning more towards going through with Adobe's recommendation and uninstalling Flash, honestly.

I'm going to keep an eye on this. Probably going to look for ways to restrict flash from doing its thing. I might even take a look at alternatives to adobe's version of flash, although, last time I checked, they weren't nearly as developed. Let's just hope, that is warning enough for more websites to stop using flash and switch to HTML5 based players.

And people wonder why more and more companies/services are switching away from using Flash to using HTML5.
