Java and your security

Over the past few months Java has had some really bad press about security. The good news is you need to have Java running on your machine for most of the security vulnerabilities to be exploited. Applications on servers should not be effected.

Windows, Linux and Mac with Java installed are effected.

It is very important for you and your customers that have Java installed on their machine to have the latest version of Java installed as it contains a lot of patches.

If your customer / you is still running Java 6 please updated to at least Java 6 update 39.
And Java 7 at least update 13.

You can check the version of Java installed here :
