It could possibly be internet predators or just plain hackers hacking your pc using java apps. So were the games in java?
pure conjecture and speculation. "hacking using java apps"... yeah. they would probably have better luck trying to hack into somebody's machine using a Doom configuration file...
Java is essentially a safe language with good security features. A review of the US-CERT vulnerability database found no vulnerabilities that were not the result of implementation bugs [US-CERT 05]. Java and Java Virtual Machine Security [LSOD 02] and Securing Java [McGraw 99] also describe some Java vulnerabilities that have resulted from implementation bugs. However, there are a number of Java features and facilities that an unwary user might not realize could compromise safety.
