Java flaws increasingly targeted by attackers, researchers say

Java vulnerabilities are increasingly exploited by attackers to infect
computers, and the problem could become worse if Oracle doesn't do more to
secure the product and keep its installation base up to date, according to
security researchers who will talk about Java-based attacks at the Black Hat USA
2012 security conference.
