The U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) continues to urge users to disable Java browser plug-ins. Security expert: “Disabling Java seems to be a reasonable step to mitigate the risk associated with confirmed, not-yet-patched flaws” Java has been increasingly targeted by attackers, in part because it’s a cross-platform technology that can be exploited not only on Windows PCs, but also on Macs. Oracle may need to do the same to prove that Java is secure enough to use.”]
