Cisco: Java exploits behind 90 percent of security attacks

This was published in January 2014. To date many users have yet to update their Java run time.

Cisco, in their 2014 Annual Security Report, blames Java for being far and away the leading cause of security exploits.
In fact, "Java represented 91 percent of all Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) in 2013," says the report. This means Java exploits were the "final payload observed" in a huge majority of all attacks throughout the year.

So either disable your java or update it.
