Security: Java Exploits - Over 800 million machines vulnerable


Warning: Java Exploit Potentially Affecting More Than 850 Million Computers



Just when you patched your Windows System completely up along comes Java with its holes.   I think Larry Ellison Java Sail Boat run better than his Java Operating System.  

Article links as they develop will be found here but I'd say the IT Community would rather see Java patched then America's Cup as for most of us Java is used daily but most of us never have time to sail.  


Important Steps: 
Disabling Java (Oracle)


Mashable Article on Java Exploits

The thin line of safe vs. insecure at times is almost a daily blur where some organizations simply cave in under the daunting task of staying abreast of their core applications required to run operations smoothly.  It's not an easy task but often the boss blames to the tech or the worker in charge which in most cases of not all is completely wrong.  It's the leaderships responsibility to develop an IT infrastructure that functions smoothly while providing the financial resources to successfully support organizational objectives.  In a nut shell feed the budget enough to run smoothly as it's cheaper in the long run.
