I removed Java from my computer, I will wait till they get it all sorted before I re-install.

I'd be more worried about your mobile phone being hacked by this java exploit, than your laptop.

The other day I had an email from the tax software company that I did a user id recovery. Clearly did not.
I called them up which was a bit of a nightmare in itself. Not sure if it related but its rather troubling.
