i disagree. the reason homeland has issued the warning is there is no known counter or cure for it yet. or prevention other then to deactivate until java comes up with an update.

I read the notice. The Java issue is mainly with untrusted sites. It's theoretically possible to have it happen if a trusted site gets hacked, but that requires the trusted site to get hacked.

Here's the original notice: http://www.us-cert.gov/cas/techalerts/TA13-010A.html

On 21 may 2013, the lag in Star Trek online transcended EPIC! to become near complete Temporal Stasis.
Do not panic. The time distortion effect should end soon.
Show Archon and Borticus how much you would like to see new Doff races!
