There are many who suggest that even the very latest java update doesn't fix the security issues with the browser plug-in and pretty much everyone and his brother recommend disabling the plug-in right now (Apple did it for you with their last OSX update). It's become a real security nightmare. Don't say you weren't warned and this security issue is even more serious than not having a signed package.
