The Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) has sounded the alarm, too, urging businesses to patch their systems. The agency is also working with Critical Information Infrastructure (CII) sectors (energy, water, banking & finance, to name a few) to shore up defences and mitigate any cyber-attacks, which points to the severity of the vulnerability.
The tech world was on the receiving end of a rude wake-up call this past week when a vulnerability affecting Apache Log4j versions 2.0 to 2.14.1 was disclosed on the project’s GitHub page.
This was a big deal, considering that a third of all web servers around the world use Apache. The flaw, dubbed Log4Shell, immediately became a top priority among IT teams.
