New Zealand's computer emergency response team was among the first to report that the flaw was being “actively exploited in the wild" just hours after it was publicly reported Thursday and a patch released.
Minecraft Earth AR Mobile Game Shutting Down on June 30Įxperts said the extreme ease with which the vulnerability lets an attacker access a web server - no password required - is what makes it so dangerous.Unless it is fixed, it grants criminals, spies, and programming novices alike easy access to internal networks where they can loot valuable data, plant malware, erase crucial information and much more. It was uncovered in an open-source logging tool that is ubiquitous in cloud servers and enterprise software used across industry and government. The flaw may be the worst computer vulnerability discovered in years. “People are scrambling to patch,” he said, "and all kinds of people scrambling to exploit it." He said Friday morning that in the 12 hours since the bug's existence was disclosed that it had been "fully weaponized,” meaning malefactors had developed and distributed tools to exploit it. “The internet's on fire right now," said Adam Meyers, senior vice president of intelligence at the cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike. A critical vulnerability in a widely used software tool - one quickly exploited in the online game Minecraft - is rapidly emerging as a major threat to organisations around the world.
