Warning to everyone, that applet uses the Java browser plugin. There is currently a serious 0-day security vulnerability. If the applet works, that means the java plugin is still enabled on your browser and should probably be disabled.

Note: This is not an issue with hubski, it is a problem with Oracle software, the people who maintain Java.

News story about the 0-day: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/01/10/java_0day/

Edit: Instructions on how to disable the plugin http://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2012/08/30/how-turn-off-java...

Hey. Thanks for the heads up. What a shame. I need to fix that.
