[Krebs on Security] Why You Should Ditch Adobe Shockwave

Krebs on Security has posted a new item.

This author has long advised computer users who have Adobe's Shockwave Player
installed to junk the product, mainly on the basis that few sites actually
require the browser plugin, and because it's yet another plugin that requires
constant updating. But I was positively shocked this week to learn that this
software introduces a far more pernicious problem: Turns out, it bundles a
component of Adobe Flash that is more than 15 months behind on security updates,
and which can be used to backdoor virtually any computer running it.
