Wonderful, but you’re over-reacting.
That Java update has been out since October, everybody and their cat has noted/taken action on the problem and now that DHS has decided to justify their existence for this week by broadcasting old news, I’m supposed to go run after this latest Shiny Thing?
The ONLY reason I can see for this “news” (other than the desire to justify existence that I’ve already noted) is that somebody decided that Sun (the evil corporation that did Java) didn’t donate enough to The 0’s campaign and will have to be destroyed.
Exactly as the very same people tried to do to Toyota.
Thank you for your service in VN - but on this one you’re just plain wrong. The new security hole was just discovered a few days ago. And it wasn’t the government that originally sounded the alarm - if anything the government is a bit late to the party.
Oracle, like most tech companies, overwhelmingly supported Obama and other Democrats. And, like most companies these days, also supported some select Republicans too.
Oracle says the patch for the latest Java exploit will be out this week, as is being widely reported.
