"0-Day" Flash Exploit Update

Flash,Security,0-Day,Exploit,Flex,Adobe,ActionScript It turns out that the “0-Day Exploit” that was touted by the media about the Adobe Flash Player really wasn’t.  The latest Flash Player (9,0,124,0) was NOT effected by this exploit.  This was related to a previous security bulletin that was announced before 124 was released, and was therefore fixed.  Please update your Flash [...]

MSU IT Conference, etc.

MSU,IT,AIS,ACNS,ATS,Conference Well, the MSU IT conference is long and gone, so I’d figure I would write some sort of review of it. All in all, it was a very well run and organized conference.  A conference consisting only of the people that you work with seems weird to people who work in small to medium [...]
