I use 3 things to keep up on all this crap. 1. https://browsercheck.qualys.com/ 2. https://krebsonsecurity.com/ 3. And then recently I started checking http://www.wilderssecurity.com/categories/other-security-topics.43/ Follow any of those then you can keep up on this stuff pretty easy.
I'm a member on wilderssecurity but there's too many on that forum with oversized egos. Discussions on security are very similar to our "intel vs amd" and "nvidia vs amd" threads... I probably visit krebs once a year....and I'm not really a fan of sites that use web based scanners. You never know exactly what the scanner is really doing.
Personally, I've had more issues with Flash than any other software & I've stopped using it. Really wish more websites & companies would stop using it.
Ah so that's what it was for. I have flash on an ask to activate basis and now that youtube's HTML5 support is very good, I have little use for flash.
