Speaking of Flash...

I found this nugget of information to be rather disturbing, especially if this knowledge fell into the wrong hands. Apparently, Web developer Tvo Schaap found out that certain Flash applications could allow access to people's Facebook or MySpace data.

The brief article mentions that after Schaap alerted the two social networking giants that they both fixed the glitch, but such information certainly makes me a little weary of capabilities of Flash. Furthermore, as the article puts it: "The vulnerabilities do, however, once more illustrate that many social networking sites still have some work to do when it comes to security."
