Never had a use for Facebook other than to maybe look up an old friend.Once in a while to grab a free software.Doesnt surprise me though.Since I rarely visit it I am not too worried but will warn some friends and family that do.

This is an example how a Java exploit can effect you even if you don't have Java Runtime Environment installed on your system.

Until companies either secure Java, disable it or remove it, you still can be effected by Java exploits.

Java is just too largely used within companies, I don't think they will go without it.

Thanks.

Well, now that's a news...... a zero-day Java exploit succefully run on a employee laptop.....
Have to wonder, what browser was he using? what security product was he using? ...... :shy:

Or maybe it was a honeypot but I will ask the same questions as you, Jack

obviously said employees have not submitted their security configuration and had MalwareTips members comment on it !!!

If they had of these java attacks should have been non existent
