According to a foreign news agency, the US cyber authorities have warned the executives of major US industries that they need to take action to remove the most serious flaws in the software log for j so far.
This software is used by large organizations, including some of the world’s largest tech firms, to log their applications. Tech companies like Amazon Web Services and IBM use it to fix bugs in their products.
Cybercriminals say software flaws are giving hackers easy access to the organization’s computer servers, and there are fears that hackers could take advantage of the flaws.
Experts say that it can take several weeks to fix software bugs.
This is the most serious threat I’ve ever seen Jane Esterley, director of the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) told the Associated Press.
This is the strongest warning yet given by US authorities about a software glitch. Last weekend it was reported that hackers were using it to gain access to the computer networks of organizations. Is also a test set by federal authorities to work with industry executives following the widespread discovery of hexes that exploited SolarWinds and Microsoft software last year.
