What does this mean for sites that use Java services internally?
- eranation 14y agoIt's related to the Java Plugin (AKA Java Applets), running in the browser, so anyone running a Java (or any JVM based language) on the server, is not related to this specific exploit. As quoted: > "To defend against this and future Java vulnerabilities, disable Java in Web browsers." There are so many JVM based services out there (Including from Google, Twitter, Foursquare and many others, even many Ruby on Rails apps running on JRuby) that if it was also a server side exploit of that level, it would have been even a bigger concern. (Users getting their bank account stolen is terrible, bank get hacked is a different level of terrible)
