OSX.Flashback botnet on the rise thanks to Java vunerability

Just another reason to keep all your stuff updated...

Symantec is reporting here that the OSX.Flashback botnet has increased in size to over 600k infected machines, primarily to the vunerability in the Oracle Java SE Remote Java Runtime Environment.  Now, Oracle patched this back in February of this year, so why is this still a problem you ask? Because most users cannot be bothered to run the patches as they come out.
