Interesting... while this is surely a bad thing. Anyone who still has
Java installed and enabled in the web browser that is used is just
begging to get their system owned+bugged, and to a lesser extent, those
who still have Adobe reader browser plugins turned on..... it is much
safer operating to just assume it has already happened, than to wait for
the news. :)
