At least it shows they are addressing the problems as they become known. Apple has been known to sit on known exploits and bugs for MONTHS at a time with no fix. Which do you prefer, a company that fixes the exploits as soon they're discovered or one that ignores them until it's convenient to pull a programmer from the iPhone to address it since even with over 100 BILLION in cash, Apple can't seem to hire enough programmers to meet their needs (or they just don't' give a flying frack about the Mac anymore, which seems FAR MORE LIKELY based on their utter lack of updates to the Mac Pro, Mac Mini, etc. and the wholesale purposed destruction of everything from Xserve to Airport to Aperture.
People on here act like there are no exploits anywhere else except Flash. HTML5 has had its own 'exploits' (like forcing ads on you that adblock can't stop and forcing videos to auto-play which then the programmers of browsers have to write more code to stop until they get more creative. ANY language that can do anything other than just print your name is going to be used by someone to get what they want and if you don't like it, it could be called malicious. Flash gets picked on and yet owning an Android phone is 10x more likely to steal your ID or data than using Flash (let alone Flash on OS X where most exploits from Flash like starting trojans won't work anyway since most trojans can't run on OS X to begin with).
The point is that if you get rid of Flash, it will be replaced with something else that is then exploited instead. Thieves don't just stop thieving because you change your door locks once in awhile. They will find another way into your home. You might as well tell people to stop using Windows and Android if they don't want to risk malware as tell them to ditch Flash as it represents only 8% of the attacks on that platform. But no, the Apple flavored Kool-Aid Brigade finds it fashionable to demonize Flash because well, Steve Jobs didn't like it!
