College-owned computers/Java threat

January 14, 2013

Contact:   Mur Muchane


Over the weekend you may have heard the U.S. Department of Homeland security warning advising computer users to disable or uninstall the Java software. There is a flaw that could allow hackers to take control of computers running versions 7.0 through 7.10. We will begin deploying a fix released this afternoon to Windows and Apple office computers at 4:30 pm today. Other than rebooting when prompted, this update will not require any other action on your part.


If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Help Desk.
