well to be fair it was a good trade off as Apple was piss poor on it and tend to lag months behind Java and left holes open for a lot longer. I expect a patch will be out pretty soon from Oracle to fix it.
Java 7 is not released by Apple, it is a direct download from Oracle. Apple has stopped all development and distribution of their own Java runtime and plug-in with version 6.
All Oracle versions have been insecure. I'd rather have stability and security over latest and certainly not greatest. Lot's of stuff won't even run on 7 plug.
This is a very confusing and incomplete report. Can we get some information about how we determine if we might be affected? What, if anything, we need to do about it?

Apple has already addressed it, as long as you are connected to the internet.

Slow, buggy, insecure, poor UI frameworks.
Other than it's cross platform capability, tell us why it's good.
As a middleware and server platform Java is great. But when it comes to front end, it sucks like a tornado. Their widgets and the slow response times are horrible. Java was trying to be a "all in one" solution but it never got accepted.
I know the Mars rover interface is Java. But NASA engineers could have chosen the easy way out, you know run it on Linux and throw Java on top of it.
I believe Android is based on such a platform, but I am not sure. No wonder it's so glitchy and jerky.

I write Java on a daily basis, I wanted to know from you why you thought 'Java Sucks'... or if you were just on some bandwagon. Some reasons why Java sucks are now invalid and have been for a long time - such as 'Java is Slow'... which is a gross generalization.
Some of those points or valid in the link, others are just his opinion, others may disagree or agree.
Java can be a good choice on the server side, on the GUI side, not so much. Saying that, writing webapps with Java is not a great experience - there are better choices - YMMV.
For whatever reason, I am still able to use the Java plugin (which is good because one of my main work tools is, unfortunately, a Java plugin). I'm definitely connected to the internet, so I'm not sure why I'm not blocked.
If I do get blocked, does anyone know a workaround to reenable the plugin. I really do need it for work.

apple should provide an easy option to switch back to java 6

My fear with the Apple solution while it is a good emergency fix is Apple will take to long to remove that emergency solution. Emergency solution are just ones to buy time but not a real fix. Oracle patch it and after the patch Apple needs to its patch removed with in 24 hours as well.
