The Wii gets buggy from a flash video |
Ó
As explained by Liam OMurchu over at Symantec, a specially crafted flash video is all that's required to freeze your console. Because it takes a flash video to freeze your Nintendo Wii (as well your PCs and Macs), it seems that anyone malicious enough to want to annoy people can simply upload the bug-inducing vid on a video upload site to cause havoc.
It's already got a fix for computers, but the Wii has yet to get its own. Needless to say, be careful where you surf if you're using your console to do so.
In any case, you can check out the video below to see its effects on the Wii (at the 1:32 mark). Don't worry though: it's a Symantec-made video that only shows the effects, but isn't actually the bugged vid itself. For more information, feel free to click on the read link below.

Does this crash your Wii irrecoverably or just freeze it so you have to reset?
irrecoverably
