Make sure to update your Adobe Flash Player as soon as possible if you don't have the patched version (9.0.124.0).

Quote from: Blizzard

A recent vulnerability has been discovered in popular web-content delivery program Adobe Flash, and it could potentially be used to target World of Warcraft players and accounts. The newest available version of Adobe Flash, version 9.0.124.0, does not contain this vulnerability, and we recommend that everyone upgrade their Flash player as soon as possible by visiting the Adobe.com download page at the link below.

We’ll continue to evaluate any potential security threats and take any steps necessary to ensure a safe and fun environment.

Go straight to the Adobe website:

If you have Windows, it should say, "You have version 9,0,124,0 installed"

This vulnerability (and the fix) was published early April, around 6 weeks or so ago! Get the update!
