It is neither deprecated nor dangerous, as the interrupt exception can
only occur in well-defined condtions when the target thread is already
blocked; normally, the target thread has to poll the isInterrupted()
method to see if anyone is trying to get its attention.

Perhaps you're thinking of Thread.suspend() or Thread.stop(), which
truly are abominations?
