Re: Security flaw in Java!

How about not telling people that they can wreck Java?

Okay, so don't post here! This topic is one for a security flaw in Java and if you're not interested then don't bother posting!

Do you join a soccer club if you don't like soccer and then whine about it? No, and you don't post on a topic you don't like and then whine about it.

Re: Security flaw in Java!

I don't really care, agreed.  Java has been dead for a long time; however, if there's an articles about how to "hack" it, people are going to do so.

People already know. Hackers do not use Scratch as their primary info channel.
I posted it so that Scratchers won't be attacked by viruses using this bug.

Re: Security flaw in Java!

Re: Security flaw in Java!

But staying off of Google Maps? NOOOOOO! I like looking up random things there.

Yes - in the web at least. People here have mentioned Minecraft, Android, etc. but there's no way one would be able to, say, exploit this fault in Android because it uses it's own Java VM.

The requirements for a successful exploit are also very specific: Chrome under XP, etc.
