ravip Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) The US Department of Homeland Security has warned computer users worldwide to disable or uninstall Java from their web browsers because of "a serious security vulnerability" discovered by researchers and likely to be in use already by hackers. More than 850 million PCs around the world use Java, and could be at risk. http://www.reuters.c...E90C0JB20130113 Edited January 14, 2013 by metisdead : Link to Bangkok Post removed as per forum rule 31.

ThaidDown Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Yes disable (or uninstall) JAVA. The security issue is not about Javascript. Javascript is something completely different and a lot of sites need it to work correctly.
