What I found most interesting about this story was that the day it came out, of course Drudge ran with it (with a headline like "Visiting porn sites breaks your PC security" or some nonsense). However, on that same day, one of Drudge's advertisers was using the flash vunerability to redirect people to a fake virus scan site, to install a "virus blocker" that is nothing more thana total back door that turns your system into a botnet zombie.

Idiots.
