Default Dangerous Java Flaw Threatens Virtually Everything

Dangerous Java Flaw Threatens Virtually Everything
According to ZDNet, vulnerabilities in Java Runtime Environment have been discovered by Google’s research team. Apparently the vulnerability threatens the security of all platforms, browsers, mobile devices and anyone using the Java Runtime Environment or Java Development Kit is at risk.

"This is as bad as it gets," said Chris Gatford, a security expert from penetration testing firm Pure Hacking. "It’s a pretty significant weakness, which will have a considerable impact if the exploit codes come to fruition quickly. It could affect a lot of organizations and users," Gatford told ZDNet Australia.

I want DETAILS! Release the details to the hackers, please! Let the fun begin.
