I don't understand - there are end-users in those institutions using java applets. They have to use java applets because their institutions mandate their use for anything from bug tracking software (yes really, I've seen it with my own eyes) to expenses software.

- philbarr 11y agoI'm still not sure what you're getting at here. It's a zero-day exploit. Updates won't help with that.
- 1ris 11y agoJava-applets in the internet are not used anymore as i explained. And if quite a few poeple use it in their intranets they don't care particular for a 0day. If their intranet is used to deploy these, everything is already lost. Even if the webbrowser that displays the intranet applets is used to surf the internet it's not a attac surface as you have to whitelist every site that's able to use applets.
