Apple has used its XProtect security agent to block another 3rd party plug-in…this time it is Flash. Because of several security vulnerabilities discovered last week and subsequent exploits being exposed in the wild, Apple has blocked all previous versions of Flash Player on the Macintosh platform. See the article below:

Users will need to upgrade to the latest version of Flash Player in order to view flash based content. Instructions for updating are included in the article above.
ITS has begun updating the lab computers but this may take a short time to finish. Please be patient. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the ITS Help Desk at Ext. 8340.
