Security breach after updating FlashPlayer

I just submitted a detailed description and request to Adobe security. Briefly, I have been experiencing numerous security breaches in the form of spoofs asking for re-updates of software I have just updated, including FP and Java. I may have been a victim of a drive by attack during one of my attempts to install the FP update. I'm running FireFox on Win7 64bit. I checked and I'm running the latest vsn of FP.
Here is the URL for one of the latter:

Many other suspicious URLs are from cloudfront as well.
Has anyone else experienced these?
What can I do to repair this obvious security problem?

Never download Adobe updates from anywhere else than the Adobe.com website!
There have been many reports of fake alerts to update Flash Player, Adobe Reader, and other Adobe products. I don't know how you get them; either your system is infected with malware, or websites you visit are.

X3 security code after update

ive just updated my nokia x3 but when i updated it ovi suite restored my phone using an old backup file. this backup file held a diffrent security code which ive forgotten. ive spoke to nokia and the care point in sailsbury. the repair point says i shouldnt be charged for the repair. im awaing a responce from nokia, about them charging me if i use the repair option on the website. I dont feel i should pay as ive followed the instructions that ovi suite gave me. i think the repair should be free. i was really shocked after the update and then my phone asked me 4 the code. i thought that the nokia software updates were fully tested before realsed to be installed into customers phones. i cant belive it

Hi There,
I just had the same happen with my 6303i. The software update, without saying so, resets the security code to the default 12345 so if you've (sensibly) changed it you'll be putting the wrong code in ;^(
If you've entered a wrong code a couple of times give it a few minutes for the lock out time to expire and then try 12345.
Of course once the update completes you then have to hunt down the security menu on the phone and change the code back to something actually secure ;^)

Asha 501 Security Code After Update

Hi Nokia,
I bought a Nokia Asha 501 on 23rd December, and yesterday only started for the first time use.
But unfortunately after the software update,
it's completely locked everything and i can't do anything with it,
even the default nokia code 12345 and my lock screen code won't do anything good.
I can't unlock it so what should I do?
Note that the phone itself doesn't contain ANY data yet as it's just started at the very beginning settings.
Thank you.

Why can't I connect to my home secured wifi after updating to iOS 6?

After upgrading to iOS 6 it will not let me connect to my secured home network. A "Log In" window pops with a message that says "Hmm that page doesn't exist" what's going on?

really stupid... but click on the arrow to the right of your netowrk and turn off auto-join

Computer will not start after update. Won't boot. Security Update. Grey.

This is a fix that worked for me. 2 times in the past Automatic Software update has corrupted my hard drive.
When installing using SOFTWARE UPDATE the installer for the security update fails, says it has been moved to trash and to try again. Well if you restart, you get a system hang and much sadness.
I tried the usual stuff, booting from CD(osx) and selecting the disk utility from the top menu. But that didn't fix it. Then I ran DiskWarrior, which usually fixes anything, but it didn't this time.
Here is what did work. I checked my other mac to see what the last security update was, and it had the 2009-001 update (worked on that mac). So I knew now that the one that screwed up was that update.
I downloaded that update to my laptop.
I started my iMac (the one that crashed after update) in "target disk mode" - this treats the whole computer as an external firewire disk drive (it's totally safe as long as you don't erase anything) - you start into target mode by holding down "T" key while turning on, leave it pressed until you see a symbol on the screen that looks like a "Y".
I hooked up a firewire cable from the iMac to my laptop and waited until the iMacs Hard drive appeared on the laptop desktop.
Now you can browse the corrupt drive just like a regular external drive.
If you have an external drive with room, this is a good time to back up the entire corrupt drive to a folder on the other external just in case...
But what I have found is that when the installer for the security update failed, it corrupted the file that mac osx needs to read during boot, so it is an isolated failure, but it is always better to be safe.
at this point you are ready to attempt the repair..
On my laptop I ran the installer for the security update I had manually downloaded from apples site. When asked for destination for the install I select the HD for the iMac (or whatever unit has the no boot situation that got corrupted). (note that if you have not renamed your main hard drives, you will have a choice of 2 with the same name). Usually the drive on the computer you are using will be first in line. Rename the drive on the computer you are using before running the install if you want to be sure there are no mistakes..)
Select the disk you want to (re)install to, and let it go. It is a long update, so be patient and let it finish. It should say preparing install, installing, finishing, and optimizing system performance...
When it says that the installation completed successfully you can eject the corrupt hard drive by dragging to the trash to dismount it. Then unplug the firewire cable.
Shut down the repaired (hopefully) machine by holding the power button until it turns of.
Count to ten.
Prepare a celebratory or misery soothing beverage (but keep it in the other room).
Some people like to start in safe mode by holding down shift key while turning on, but I couldn't get it to work on mine...
Turn the computer back on and wait. The boot process will take longer than usual the first time.
If and when you get to login or desktop, go in and run apple disk utility and repair the disk, and repair the permissions.
If it worked, breathe a sigh, do a happy dance. And from now on when mac os says there are updates available, write them down, then go to apples site, download them manually, and install them manually, one at a time from now on, to avoid hassles.
Hope this helps!
Enjoy!

Thanks for the post/tips newfocus, hope it helps somebody!

After AVG PC Tune up, software update message for security and stability update is available FireFox 3.6.18. Should I Update?

My Dell laptop (Operating on Windows XP) was hit with multiple viruses - I could not open Mozilla Firefox or any other applications for that matter. After much time and many attempts, I was finally able to install and run an AVG Scan and then an AVG PC Tune up. 4,559 problems found and repaired. After the repairs, I received the following message:
"Software Update - A security and stability update for Firefox is available: Firefox 3.6.18 - It is strongly recommended that you apply this update for Firefox as soon as possible. - an underlined link reading, "View more information about this update" and then 2 choices - "Ask Later" or "Update Firefox." Since part of the problem was with Firefox and some error messages pointed to that, I'm hesitant to click on any of the three options above. Can you help me to get past this error message, please. I am sending this from my home computer. Thank you. Diane

Sometimes the updater gets in a funny state - Go to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ and download the full installer. Close Firefox and run the installer

After update June 28 of security and Java on 17in mac bk pro laptop cannot startup

After June 28 security and Java updates my 17 in mac book pro will not start up properly..I get a screen with text on the side and a window telling me to press the sart button to shut down and then press again to start up...( a gray panel comes down over the page before the window appears)...I have tried the install disc and done the disc and permissions repair...permissions repair could not repair "System/Library/Core Services/Remote Management ARDAgent/Contents/Mac OS/ARDAgent" a SUID file. What can I do?

Try to get into your machine and if you do, the first thing you do is backup your files to a external drive. (not TimeMachine) via regular drag and drop methods.
Disconnect this drive. and all others.
You can then c boot off the installer disk for your OS version and under the Utilities menu is Disk Utility > Repair Disk
Also you can totally reinstall OS X, shouldn't effect your programs or files (but backup all files just in case)
If that don't work, c boot off the installer disk again, this time use Disk Utility to Erase >format HFS+ Journaled with Security option > Zero All Data (will take some time) This will totally wipe the drive of everything and is a last ditch effort.
When it's done quit, and reinstlal OS X.
You'll have to go through the setup and reinstall your programs and files from backup. Secret is use the same user name and drive name as the previous time so your iTunes folder will work without a hitch.
If you restore from TimeMachine, it's possible whatever problem you had can return, but you can try and if it doesn't work, just repeat above without TimeMachine.
Later look at free Carbon Copy Clone your boot drive to a external HFS+ Journaled formatted drive and keep in a safe place, it hold option bootable, great if your hard drive bites it, or TimeMachine gets hosed. TM isn't bootable.

After updating my iPhone 4s to iOS 6.1, Verification Failed: An SSL error has occurred and a secure connection to the server cannot be made. My wifi connection works; the icon is present at the top left. But Internet won't connect, be it Safari, App Store

After updating my iPhone 4s to iOS 6.1, Verification Failed: "An SSL error has occurred and a secure connection to the server cannot be made." My wifi connection works; the icon is present at the top left. But Internet apps won't connect, be it Safari, App Store or Facebook & instagram. Push notifications also work so posts from Facebook and Instagram still pop-up. Does any one have any ideas? Thanks.

I have the same problem. Worked fine on Friday. My VPN or any ssl site do not work on my iPhone 5. Both work perfect on iPhone 4 and 4s

Mac hangs after Safari 5.0.5 and Security 2011-02 Updates

I recently ran software update and installed Safari 5.0.5 and Security Update 2011-02 on an iMac with 10.6.7. After running the updates, I clicked on the Restart button and the Mac rebooted but then hung with the spinning gear (not spinning). I did three more force reboots all with the same result.
I booted with the 10.6 install DVD, ran disk utility, and repaired the disk (incorrect file count and directory count). Ran permissions repair - found and repaired permissions on Library/Shared (were set to 777 for some reason and not 775). It also reported an ACL found but not expected on Library/Shared.
Rebooted the system and it came up, but when it did the date was reset to 1 Jan 2001 and none of my preferred networks could be found. I manually joined my Airport Extreme and then the system hung again. Mouse worked but no keyboard input and mouse clicks were not responsive.
Forced reboot again. That is where I am now. I've managed to backup all my user data and cloned the HD to another disk, just in case. I haven't seen any reports of any other issues with these updates, so it seems I am alone or in the minority.
Has anyone else had issues with their system after updating Safari and applying the Security update?

Mmm, some similar issues here after the same update (though not quite the same). In my case the computer rebooted to the log-in screen after the update, but any attempt to log on with either of the accounts on the computer returned me to the same screen.
Booted from SL disk and repaired disk. No errors were reported but DU indicated that it had "updated boot processes as required.
Then attempted to repair permissions. Permission repair proceeded very slowly and then appeared to hang altogether. I stopped the repair , quit the SL installer to reboot the machine. To my surprise it rebooted normally, to the default startup account.
I'm currently repairing permissions using the copy of DU on the HD. Still seems to be operating very slowly.
I'd suggest that anyone installing these updates should use DU (or another utility) to repair both the drive and permissions before they do so. This is always good practice, and I normally do it myself, but was in a bit of a rush this time.
If people didn't repair both the drive and permissions prior to the installation, I'd suggest they do it now.

After update airport interface doesn't work when security is enabled

Hi all.
After update of Leopard to v.10.5.2 wireless stop working. As I discovered wireless without security are working, but when I apply any secure methods (wpa,wpa2,wep) airport adapter can't connect to router though I can see available networks. My wireless router is ZyXel p-600 series (P660HTW2EE). I installed last update of airport. Nothing changes.
1) Any idea about how to resolve the trouble?
2) How could I see detailed log of airport about troubles during connections?
3) Where are located config files which save passwords and other settings for wi-fi networks?
Thanks a lot in advance.

I would delete your network password.
Use spotlight or, go to the Utility folder and open "*Keychain Access*" ---> look in the "System" tab and delete the network password for your network.
Let me know if it does not work.
-Mike

Safari locked out of secure servers after OS X 10.5.6 update

I should have waited another day. After updating to 10.5.6 I can no longer logon to any of my secure servers (bank accounts, brokerage accounts, credit cards, etc.) using Safari. I have been told by tech support at these sites that it is due to changes that Apple made to the way Safari handles proxies. The choice they offer is to go back to 10.5.5 or use a different browser. Since everything I do is set up in Safari I would prefer to roll back to 10.5.5. Responses to other issues related to 10.5.6 indicate that this is only possible by reinstalling the OS or installing 10.5.5 from a back up. I use Time Machine. Can someone please tell me how would I go about going back to 10.5.5 from the last back up prior to updating to 10.5.6? Do I need to restore everything, or can I do a selective restore? All advice will be most welcome.

"I assume the problem is with Safari 3.2.1. I am having no problems with 3.1.2. (the one included in the update)." -- KJK555
I am confused by your post. Following software numbering conventions, version 3.2.1 ought to be newer than 3.1.2. I have installed the update twice, so I have to believe that 3.2.1 is the most up-to-date. It is also the version currently available on the Apple web site.
At least the posts on MacRumors confirm that I am not alone, nor is there only one institution that is in contact with Apple on this issue. The following is an excerpt from an HSBC Internet Banking Technical Support email response that is posted on the MacRumors forum thread listed in my previous post (2:28 PM 18Dec2008.)
"Thank you for using the feedback facility for our Internet Banking service.
This is with regard to your recent e-mail concerning being unable to access Internet Banking. We realize that some customers are facing difficulties connecting to Internet Banking through an Apple Mac OS X system running with a Safari browser. The matter has been escalated to Apple who have identified this as a problem on their end."
Now if we could just get some feedback from Apple on when this will be fixed. Or, maybe they just want us to use a different browser and forget about Safari.

Want to leave CC after security breach. No support.

After Adobe's security breach, my card was cancelled by my bank the week I was to stand in a wedding.
I've tried to contact support in four different ways and finally recieved a call-back last week. They told me they would credit me through January, and would contact me later after "escelating my claim."
That night, I got a voicemail saying they were still looking into my claim and today, on deadline, I can't open any of my programs. I call them "my programs" because I've already paid over $300 for them. It only seems fair.
Having spent a year (and $360) licensing software and having absolutely no support, I want a download key for the three programs I use. I want to be done with CC and Adobe at large while still being able to do my work.

Your message is entitled in part "Want to leave CC".
I'm not saying that you shouldn't be upset and cynical., but if you are posting here as more of a threatening rant to get some attention, rather than actually request an Adobe employee explicitly cancel your membership, you probably should actually say what you want occur, not the opposite of what you want to occur.
For example, despite this being a user-to-user forum, I have seen an Adobe employee Beverly Gray come along and either cancel memberships or re-submit payment transactions for people who request such.
An Adobe person cannot make CC a non-subscription product if you're asking for an activation key, but if you have a new credit-card number entered into your account and the payments are not going through, then say that, and see if someone will help you.

Not Booting after recent Security Patch/Java update

My wife has experienced what many have experienced with the recent update.
MacBook not booting after update (i.e. - "I have no name!")
I have tried everything posted on this topic since 2/13/09, but without any success. Does anyone have the fix for this yet?
Things I have tried:
* I can boot in safe mode (holding "Shift" while restarting)
* I cannot boot from an install disk(s) (holding C while restarting) - I have both a black one from purchase, and two gray ones with purchase from MiniMac
* Booting with verbose - gets stuck at same place as everyone else
Operating in safe mode:
* I can run DU and "repair" drive
* I can see and access the CD/DVD
* I cannot see drive in target drive mode (doesn't ever connect the 2 systems)
* I downloaded the update files from apple and reinstalled them individually (via USB ext Drive) with a reboot in between
* I attempted to update & archive, but I cannot run install CD from any systems disks (see above)
Has anyone figured out how to fix this yet?

Same problem than the other guy who is not mentioning the update in the title.
Powerbook 1.67.
System log said "No user defined computer name" and "using blah blah name" or so.
