Java, not JavaScript, should be disabled

A few links on the issue:

Homeland Security warns to disable Java amid zero-day flaw | ZDNet

New Java vulnerability is being exploited in the wild, disabling Java is currently your only option - The Next Web

Oracle’s Java vulnerability left open since October 2012 ‘fix’, now being used to push ransomware - The Next Web


EDIT - I'm an idiot. Java is not the same as JavaScript. Ignore me.

JavaScript is a standard tool in any cracking attempt.
However, I believe you have mixed up JavaScript and Java, which are two different programming languages. Java is more useful in designing object-oriented code and makes up many functions. JavaScript is used directly in website HTML, but is only used for more minor coding.
The US gov't is saying to disable Java, not JavaScript. Don't disable JavaScript.
It's also why Java is targeted so much- the language is becoming more and more integrated as it works on many platforms, and so is used more and more commonly.
Zero-day flaw- where the crackers find a computer vulnerability and use it before anyone else knows about it and tries to patch it.
