If it had run it's course and trojan code placed, then it could have been the hacking
equivalent
of emptying Fort Knox. One Christmas day or Thanksgiving, the dormant back doors sewn
into
thousands of webservers would have been activated and $billions stolen (assumption
that they had
enough hackers and could get away with it).
Incidentally, Java offers permissions which many languages and operating systems do
not. A great
way of protecting yourself from malicious code. Way better that simple Yes/No of
ActiveX. I
volunteered to do some such improvement for Avalon some months ago but never started
it. I guess
that's noted anyway, but worth mentioning (sorry folks).
