FYI - OS X major Java vulnerability

Allows arbitrary code execution outside of the sandbox.

A fully patched 10.5.7 system remains vulnerable.

Best to disable Java in your browser(s). It's enabled by default in Safari and FF.

I'm a bit peeved that Apple has only just sent out the latest security update, and it wasn't fixed in that, even though it's been known about for nearly 6 months.

Seems this has been patched by everyone except Apple.

Don't use Mac, don't use Java.

Sorted 'innit.

Hi Scooter, its blacjac calling, just making sure you are OK, what with the recent announcement that OS X is actually just as vulnerable, if not more vulnerable than Windows, just that no one bothered trying to hack it as no one worth hacking uses it.

Anyway, get back to us just so that we know averything is OK, we worry about you.
