If you have a Mac or PC might be a good idea to disable Java 🙂

WTF does the exploit actually do? connects to an IP and downloads a payload?

“The applet check if the system is running Windows and gets the parameters passed from the HTML that contains the URL to download the payload. If the system is vulnerable, the payload is downloaded and executed in the system.”

How is that really any different from a majority of the other viruses. I mean Java does suck and leaves an easy gateway into the machine, but I feel like this happens quite frequently already.

Pretty much lets you execute whatever you want and doesn’t pop up that the applet is unsigned lol

So just because lots of other vulns exist, you should ignore this one?

I like to keep my shit secure.

^Not at all, just doesn’t seem like it’s a new exploit. I’d assume malwarebytes (pro version) as well as some others should flag the IP it’s downloading from as malicious and block it.
