Apparently(1) EMET prevents this Flash vulnerability from working. Might be time to install it from (2) with the extra "Popular Software" settings on your own PC and any you control.

"InfoSec Taylor Swift" (@SwiftOnSecurity) is a parody account, and I wouldn't trust it on whether EMET prevents this vulnerability or not. Not saying that it doesn't, just that we'd need more serious sources on that.

  Swift on Security tends to be surprisingly on the pulse with respect to this sort of stuff. Of course check a second source but don't write Tay Tay off right away! I'd love to know who runs it.

    It's not too hard to figure out. He/she's on Twitter and admits that he/she hasn't been great with the OpSec. :-)

  Here's a more serious source (EMET is mentioned towards the end of the blog post) ... http://malware.dontneedcoffee.com/2015/01/unpatched-vulnerability-0day-in-flash.html http://malware.dontneedcoffee.com/2015/01/unpatched-vulnerab...

  @SwiftOnSecurity's identity is a parody; the information on it is pretty legit.
