Be sure to update your “Flash Player” before you leave.

Of course a bunch of over-educated, under- qualified lawyers posting at work use Flash Player.

This is always a bit surprising to me. Like you don’t see this happen with other sites. Is Kinja really using such a shady ad network? Generally it seems pretty normal. Are kinja posts considered so iffy that no legitimate buyers bid on these spots?

Regardless, it feels like every time I think about turning off my ad blocker (or actually do it) to support the sites, there’s some scammy malware ad coming down the pipes.

Properly coded websites moved to HTML5 a long time ago, but there are still plenty that use Flash. Not surprised that Kinja is one.

If it’s a message from the MacOS, it could be legit, but not if it’s a web pop up. Either way, I check my Flash Player version by going to the Adobe site myself. Never click on any pop up about a software install.

I’m pretty sure Kinja does not use Flash. I think it’s about 99% likely that message is a scam attempting to look like an OSX system dialog.

Agreed , now that I think of it, it’s pretty obvious that this isn’t a legit OS notification, whether or not the site uses Flash.

Visiting the main sites be like:

Have you whitelisted yet?

We know we bug you every time, but kwality kontent like Gawkmodo isn’t free.

BTW, have you whitelisted us yet?

Not to belabor the point, but we’d really like it if you whitelisted our ad partners.

C’mon pussy, whitelist us already!

DO IT CHICKEN! WHITELIST NOW!
