For those unaware, Java 7 updates 1-6 have a major security hole which can be exploited on any operating system at all to execute malicous code (yes, that means you Mac users).

The latest patch is here: http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp

Very important.

Last article I read said 550,000 Macs have been infected as of a few days ago, heh. Even Linux is open to this one.

Watching people fight is fun...
