Flash Bug Allows Miscreants to Remotely Operate Your Web Cam



Wired - Adobe Systems has announced it’s in the process of fixing a security vulnerability in Flash that would allow malicious web sites to remotely operate a user’s webcam and microphone.

Adobe told CNET it was hoping to have the fix done by the end of this week.
