Silly political people freaking out, or should I actually be paying attention to this?

I'm not sure they understand the difference between Java and Javascript. So I'd wager there's nothing to worry about.

[Darvi]

As long as the Perl doesn't start leaking they should have nothing to worry about.

Java has been full of security holes for years. Browse smartly, and you shouldn't have any problems.

First I've heard of it. We haven't disabled Java and we're usually the first to jump on these vulnerabilities. Only thing we've disabled is being able to use the Enter key to submit forms in IE, until MS patches a vulnerability in IE8.

[GlyphGryph]

I don't even have Java installed, so at least I'll be fine, I think. Didn't realize people still used Java on the web for front end stuff - I haven't come across any recently.

Strange thing, Chrome was blocking me from accessing this thread. Kept on screaming about malware.

I just got that with the entire forum actually.

Google Chrome has blocked access to this page on www.zalanthas.org.
Content from cdn.lolchamp.com, a known malware distributor, has been inserted into this web page. Visiting this page now is very likely to infect your computer with malware.

E: Heh, actually that was my fault

Yes, this is a thing, and it is being exploited.  Disable Java plugins in your browser.
