A vulnerability in a widely-used logging platform uncovered late last week has left security professionals and officials scrambling to respond and patch systems before other nations and cybercriminals can exploit the flaw.
The vulnerability in Apache logging package log4j has affected potentially thousands of companies worldwide, and is a particularly serious problem.
“This is one of the worst vulnerabilities in the history of vulnerabilities,” Tom Kellermann, a former member of an Obama administration cybersecurity commission and the head of Cybersecurity Strategy at cybersecurity group VMware Carbon Black, told The Hill on Monday.
