Homeland Security Warns to Disable Java

Uhm - is that not another class of virtual machine, targeted at mobile platforms?

I have only developed iOS at this point, but I know android developers, and they seem to spend their time in Eclipse writing Java code.

Now, it may be that the security issues they are wringing their hands over are in fact only associated with the desktop JVMs...

Android uses Java the language, but not Java the runtime. It won't be affected by the same security issues, probably, but it may have some of it's own, same as everything else! 🙂

The Java problem is not FUD. It is a real and present danger. Malicious Bots can be installed on your computer to carry out DOS attacks and you would never know it.
