Federal Trade Commission settles with technology giant Oracle. FTC alleges Oracle has been making “deceptive security claims about Java SE” Oracle acquired Java when it bought Sun Microsystems in 2010. FTC’s settlement requires Oracle to give Java users the tools and information they need to protect their computers. Oracle has also promised to contact numerous anti-virus vendors and request that they too issue the security alert verbatim to their users. Oracle’s move is notable, because it’s the first time the agency has cracked down on a company for failing to eliminate vulnerable versions of its software when users install a new update.”]
