| About Java Security |
On January 10, 2013, the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team reported a serious security problem with Java. Although the WPBD uses Java technology, the Standard Setups (at left) do not present a security hazard. The copies of Java they contain cannot be used by your web browser, which has been the source of the recent security problems. See our FAQ for more information on WPBD and Java. |
