The article has lots of links, if you follow them far enough you'll find out that Adobe's "patch" doesn't solve the problem like they infer that it does. I'll give up YouTube if it means I can shop online without worrying as much about my payment information being at risk. Even Homeland Security in interested in the problem ... but no solution yet. For now, the simplest thing is to unload Flash from your computer, or at least get a Flash blocker plugin for your browser.
Luckily, Jamendo will play music without Flash, although it protests that you need Flash. Just click that protest window away, and the player will start ... at least on Linux. Don' know nuttin' 'bout no Winders or Macs, maybe someone else can help there.
I'm not paranoid - they are all out to get me. :D
