\u2013&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/log4j-flaw-puts-hundreds-of-millions-of-devices-at-risk-says-us-cybersecurity-agency\/\" rel=\"follow\">and it affected hundreds of millions of devices<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Security&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/apache-releases-new-2-17-0-patch-for-log4j-to-solve-denial-of-service-vulnerability\/\" rel=\"follow\">updates and mitigations were swiftly rolled out<\/a>, yet a year on from the initial disclosure, Log4j still remains a threat because many organizations and and their suppliers are still yet to apply the updates.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Many might still not even be aware that the logging library is part of their software ecosystem. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But repeated warnings made it clear that the critical vulnerabilities posed a threat \u2013 and hacking groups ranging from cyber-criminal gangs and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/ransomware-warning-hackers-are-using-log4j-flaw-as-part-of-their-attacks-warns-microsoft\/\" rel=\"follow\">ransomware groups<\/a>&nbsp;to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/within-hours-of-the-log4j-flaw-being-revealed-these-hackers-were-using-it\/\" rel=\"follow\">nation-state backed cyber-espionage operations<\/a>&nbsp;have all actively targeted Log4j vulnerabilities and continue to do so.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Just last month \u2013 almost a year on from the initial disclosure \u2013&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/cybersecurity-warning-if-youve-not-patched-log4j-yet-assume-attackers-are-in-your-network\/\" rel=\"follow\">CISA and the FBI put out a security alert<\/a>, warning that if organizations hadn&#8217;t yet patched or mitigated Log4j vulnerabilities, they should assume their network is compromised and act accordingly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cisa.gov\/uscert\/ncas\/current-activity\/2022\/11\/16\/cisa-and-fbi-release-advisory-iranian-government-sponsored-apt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">The alert<\/a> came after an investigation into a cyberattack against what CISA and the FBI describe as a &#8216;federal civilian executive branch&#8217; organization. If a government body can&#8217;t plug the security holes correctly, then what chances do other organizations have?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/software-development-is-still-ignoring-security-that-needs-to-change-fast\/\" rel=\"follow\"><strong>Software development is still ignoring security.

But <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/youve-still-not-patched-it-hackers-are-using-these-old-software-flaws-to-deliver-ransomware\/\" rel=\"follow\">cyber criminals don&#8217;t forget about old security flaws and vulnerabilities<\/a>&nbsp;\u2013 and as long as Log4j instances remain unmitigated, they&#8217;ll be targeting them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That means organizations can&#8217;t just ignore vulnerabilities and issues and hope they just go away. Fixing these issues is a challenge, but taking notice of security alerts and warnings to ensure your network is protected is an absolute must.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s just one of the reasons why the responsible thing for organizations of any size to do is to provide the budget for a suitably sized information security team, which can help detect and mitigate threats before they affect your business and its customers. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>ZDNET&#8217;S MONDAY OPENER &nbsp;<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><em>ZDNET&#8217;s Monday Opener is our opening take on the week in tech, written by members of our editorial team.&nbsp;<\/em><\/h3>\n<h3><strong><strong>PREVIOUSLY ON ZDNET&#8217;S MONDAY OPENER:<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>READ MORE <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/we-are-still-failing-to-learn-the-most-important-lesson-in-cybersecurity-that-needs-to-change-fast\/#ftag=RSSbaffb68\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We know the problems and the answers.
