Following a United States Department of Homeland Security warning to computer users to disable their Java plug-ins due to a major vulnerability, Oracle Corp. over the weekend, issued a security patch to fix the problem.
However, Adam Goldhawk, a researcher with Security Explorations, a security and vulnerability company based in Poland, said the firm could not tell users that it is safe to use Java as yet, according to a report from FoxNews.com. The report said that some experts are recommending that organizations remove Java from their browsers unless they have no alternative to use it because the patch may have left some security flaws untouched.
