Java Vulnerability Alert - May 22, 2013
Recently, security bulletins have been issued on the internet about risks arising from potentially infected websites that exploit a security hole in all web browsers. Click to expand/collapse.

Infected websites can take advantage of vulnerabilities in the widely used web browser plug-in for the Java platform and pose risks for Internet users. To protect against attack from websites of unverified origin, we advise using two separate web browsers for different purposes.

  1. A designated browser with Java enabled, to access enterprise UBC systems and other trusted websites and
  2. Another browser set as the default browser with the Java plugin disabled for all other web sites e.g. Blogs, internet news, gaming sites, etc.

Instructions for disabling the Java plugin can be found here. If assistance is needed in disabling the plugin for either of these browsers, help can be obtained either from your designated IT support group, or the IT Service Centre staff can help either by phone, or via the Walk-In Support Centre in the UBC Bookstore.
