Another critical Java vulnerability puts 1 billion users at risk
Found on Computerworld on Wednesday, 26 September 2012
If you disabled Java when the last zero-day exploit was spotted in the wild, then you might consider doing so again . . . or dumping Java altogether?
To recap, this Java bug is even worse than the last critical Java vulnerability. It puts one billion users of Oracle’s Java SE, Java 5, 6 and 7, at risk. It could be exploited using these browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera and Safari. If you visit a maliciously crafted website, attackers could gain total control of your PC. Wow, thanks a lot Oracle.
Just get rid of Java already. Uninstall it, or, even better, never install it in the first place. You will not miss a thing.
