That flash exploit infected one of my posts, under a friends-cut where I didn't notice it when I scanned my recent entries to see if they looked all right.

I don't remember ever having seen it on anyone else's LJ, which is how you're supposed to get infected. Consider this a heads-up - even if you don't think you were exposed, it's a good idea to check your most recent posts.

(And thanks [livejournal.com profile] baratron for letting me know about it!)

Edited to add: Ah, now I understand. While the exploit was still active, changed posts didn't have the four white boxes at the bottom - they had empty space because the flash thingies were invisible. The white boxes only appeared in infected posts when LJ disabled embeds. So you could easily be infected without ever seeing weird content in someone else's post... and if I'm on your friends list, you probably were.
