    Dear Yahoo! Games players,

    Here is an announcement concerning Blocked plug-in or This plug-in has security vulnerabilities error.

    Acting on security concerns over a vulnerability in the Java 7 plug-in, Apple and Mozilla have taken steps to disable the Java 7 plug-in. As such, you may experience either of the above errors when attempting to access a multiplayer parlor game on Yahoo! Games.

    We understand your concerns with Java security, and Oracle, the developer of Java, has issued an update regarding these vulnerabilities:

    Oracle Security Alert for CVE-2013-0422

    We recommend updating Java to the latest version to address any security issues. With that said, please note that we are providing limited development and maintenance for our parlor games, and will not be updating the game engines to accommodate changes to Java updates.

    Best Regards,
    Yahoo! Product Support
