Adobe Flash Exploit – Update NOW

It turns out Rilgon’s Security post is quite well timed.

There’s a weakness in the Adobe Flash player that’s been recently exploited (possibly through the virus attack on World of Raids). Through it several people in major raiding guilds, including some from Feathermoon, have had their accounts compromised, leading to entire guild banks being cleaned out, gear sold, and characters also transferred and sold.

In short, NASTY BUSINESS.

Please go update your flash now:

Some have reported that this particular person/group of people has been conversational, to the point of threatening guild members to give them gold “or I’ll delete/sell this guy’s stuff”. It goes without saying not to give in to this kind of bullshit – whether the character is deleted or not, it can be restored, and if you willingly give your stuff, you definitely /won’t/ see it back. And it’s likely that the character will get deleted/sold anyway.
