| 1297384 | 2012-08-28 04:36:00 | Looks like the latest version of 6 and 7 are exploitable | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1297385 | 2012-08-28 05:04:00 | The chances of being the one chosen to be hacked out of 3 billion would seem to be pretty small, like fish swimming in shoals of billions for protection when attacked by circling sharks :) | Terry Porritt (14) | ||
| 1297386 | 2012-08-28 06:30:00 | Except the attack is likely automated when you innocently surf past a corrupted website, or a hijacked link sends you there. Then again, java has been a security PITA for ages anyway, so is this really anything further to fear? |

| 1297389 | 2012-08-28 10:07:00 | I have indeed disabled it, this is a major threat at present, with the typical arrogant tardiness Oracle displays when issuing patches (next release in October I believe). Shame they bought Sun, wrecked a lot of good stuff. |

| 1297390 | 2012-08-28 10:09:00 | how long before they release an update??? a week??? | GameJunkie (72) | ||
| 1297391 | 2012-08-28 10:14:00 | how long before they release an update??? a week??? The next scheduled patch release is in October, Oracle seldom issue out of schedule patches, hopefully this will be an exception! |
