This is a note for those who manage their own machines. We’re taking care of this for machines that we manage.
If you’re running Java, please make sure you’re at the absolute latest version of either 1.6 or 1.7. Anything earlier is vulnerable. The below stories deal with the details. The simple summary is that if you don’t have a need for Java, disable it. http://labs.alienvault.com/labs/index.php/2013/new-year-new-java-zeroday/http://krebsonsecurity.com/2013/01/zero-day-java-exploit-debuts-in-crimeware/

I know this is sounding like scatched record (for those that remember vinyl)
but the hackers have yet again found a way to exploit Java.
If for any reason you were silly enough to re-enable it from the past 20
times you were told it had a hole and should be disabled. It’s now time to
do it again. 😉
