Give Oracle an ?attaboy? for their speedy reaction and?patch issue?for three newly publicized?vulnerabilities?in Java, one of which is already being used in targeted attacks.?If only they hadn?t been reported to Oracle?in April. If only Oracle had communicated with their customers on Monday to let us know a patch would be forthcoming. If only the exploit had not been discovered in the?Blackhole?exploit pack,?and if only the Java vulnerability had not been?tied?to the?Nitro?attacks on the energy sector. If only?Apple?had also patched OS X?s Java implementation. In other energy sector news, Qatari oil and gas company?RasGas?is the victim of a malware attack from an as yet unreported malware. And Saudi?Aramco?acknowledged?the attack that struck them two weeks ago,?and?were reported to have?suffered a second?attack this week. And last but not least in energy, the?RCMP has warned?Canadian energy companies that they may be targeted by Anonymous-affinity miscreants. We?ll also give you dear reader, an ?attaboy? if you refresh your ?coffee (patch your Java) within a week, because that?s the RISK Team?s recommendation.
