Ron Burgundy Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 By Diane Bartz WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Oracle Corp has settled allegations by the Federal Trade Commission that it failed to notify customers about unaddressed hacking dangers when it released security updates for the estimated 850 million U.S. computers with Java SE software, the agency said on Monday. The FTC alleged that Oracle promised consumers that its updates would make the software "safe and secure."

Oracle, which acquired Java in 2010 when it bought Sun Microsystems, Inc, declined comment on the settlement. View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
