@amolith Are you sure you didn't SSH into the museum of technology?
In any case, letting your IT department know about the security aspects of the situation might be a good idea. Using an ancient version like that might be attributed to just being lazy, but there are also good reasons to stick with a certain version number. It's just that then you would also have to isolate that computer from the rest of the world in order to be able to safely run your ancient code you can't upgrade to be compatible with newer versions of Java.
