Oracle has released a java security update, latest version for java 8 is now 8u31 (and for java 7 it is 7u75).
Since this update Oracle updates windows users from java 7 to java 8. Java 8 should work for any modpack using minecraft 1.7 or later. If you still play 1.6 or older modpacks you may have issues. In that case you can install the latest java 7 as well.
A bunch of security fixes are included
in this release, so it is imperative to update as soon as possible.
If you play Minecraft you use Java and this is important for you
. Please download java 8 here:

If you run a 64-bit OS, make sure you download the 64-bit version.
And as always, keep Java disabled in your browser at all costs!
