Many of you may have a program called Java on
your computers. Java is both a language and a platform to run websites
and programs, both on the PC and Mac operating systems.
You
may have recently seen some of the extensive news coverage, including
statements from the United States Department of Homeland Security,
regarding a vulnerability in Java that leaves millions of computers open
to malware attacks and can lure online traffic to virus-infected
websites.
We
got this notice from Norton, but there are many good security programs
on the market. Be sure to update yours to include security against the
Java bug (CVE-2013-0422).
It’s
also recommended that you click through and apply Oracle’s recently
released security patch and make sure you are running the most updated
version of Java.
Happy computing!
