java is not secure!!


Here is an eye opener, take a look guys!!

java and java script not the same...........
java is not secure beware!!!!

What Is Java?

What Is Java, Is It Insecure, and Should I Use It?Java is a programming language that developers use to create applications on your computer. Chances are you've downloaded a program that required the Java runtime, and so you probably have it installed it on your system. Java also has a web plug-in that allows you to run these apps in your browser. Java is not, however, the same as JavaScript. In fact, they don't have a ton of similarities besides their names. 
what is java script??
JavaScript is generally used within HTML documents (like web pages) rather than as standalone "apps" that run inside them. This can be a bit confusing since Java also runs in your browser, but they are quite different. A large number of web sites use JavaScript; very few require Java.
With that in mind, we're only going to discuss Java here. That's the really insecure one that's driving everyone crazy. For a better explainer on JavaScript, check out this guide from our friends at the How-To Geek. For the answer to your question, read on.

Is Java Insecure?

What Is Java, Is It Insecure, and Should I Use It?Java has two parts: the runtime that runs on your computer (and lets you run Java apps), and the browser plug-in that comes along with it. When people talk about Java being insecure, they're talking about the browser plug-in. Java apps themselves aren't inherently insecure, it's the browser plug-in that causes problems.
In fact, Kaspersky Lab says that the Java browser plug-in was responsible for 50 percent of all cyber attacks last year, and security experts are constantly advising that you disable it in your browser. It opens up a number of holes that can allow criminals to steal passwords, credit card numbers, and other personal information. And, as you've noticed from reading news on the web, new security holes are popping up all the time.

Should I Disable it?

What Is Java, Is It Insecure, and Should I Use It?Chances are, you don't even need the Java browser plug-in. To disable Java in your browser, head to your browser's plug-in page. In Chrome, you can do this by typingchrome://plugins into the address bar, and in Firefox, you can do so by going to Tools > Add-Ons > Plugins. Then, just find Java and click Disable. That's all it takes!
The browser plug-in is the security problem in question, but the Java runtime has its own annoyances—like constantly nagging you for updates, taking up space in your system tray, and (when you first install it) because it likes to install things like toolbars on your system. For these reasons, we generally recommend uninstalling the Java runtime too, just for the convenience. If you find that an app asks for Java after the fact, you can always reinstall, as long as you keep that browser plugin disabled. To uninstall Java, open up the Start menu, search for uninstall a program, press Enter, and choose Java from the uninstall list. You'll probably be happy you did.

how make a good blog post!!

Most of us write blog for very many different reasons, but the sole purpose stands on the fact that we want to gain some attraction and popularity. The best way to do that is to be the best at what you do. The art of writing a famous blog is not an easy task, it takes time and patience, it is so because blogs are  one of the fastest-growing means of mass communication, they have gained a lot of attention since the 2000 and they are a now becoming a serious rival for traditional media like newspaper and other mass media. So here the few tips that I think will result in a good blog post if followed thoroughly: 1.      As the old saying goes “plan well before you do anything”, first  choose what type of blog you want to create. Have a rock solid idea about your main theme. The main success of the blog lies in the fact that you should consider your blog as an extension of yourself. Your blog identifies who you are. It exposes the person who you are on ...

How Embracing AI Transformed My Everyday Life
