Java (with no script) is a full blown software development language that has been found to have vulnerabilities subject to exploitation. Today It is mostly confined to on-line gaming, specialized corporate applications, and some multi-platform open source applications.
Don’t forget the IoT (
Internet of Things: thermostat, electronic locks, refrigerator, automated lamps, smart meters, cars, etc), and the servers that you get your content from (music, film, tv shows), and the machines that make the utility companies run: mostly Java. Its security will affect you, even if you keep it off your computer. You can’t keep it off other devices that you interact with, and services that you rely on to be secure. And many smaller IoT devices will never see an update or get patched; remaining insecure for the rest of their ‘life’.
