Log4J: appearance of new vulnerability

This is what Log4J is all about

The new vulnerability in the Java library Log4J makes it very easy for attackers to execute malicious code on their attack targets.

Particularly critical is the fact that the library is used in countless products worldwide. We therefore suspect that a large percentage of the world's infrastructure is affected. Many such products and programs are accessible from the internet and therefore a very easy target for attack.

Protect yourself and your customers
