A group of Chinese hackers has been using the massive vulnerability in Log4j — a common piece of open-source code — to target a large academic institution, Crowdstrike says.
: CrowdStrike said its software observed an attack that exploited the Log4j flaw in software from VMware.
The attack came from a China-based group dubbed Aquatic Panda that has been conducting intelligence gathering and industrial espionage, CrowdStrike said.: Some security experts, including Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency head Jen Easterly, have called the flaw among the worst they have ever seen.
Experts have told Axios the Log4j flaw is especially pernicious because the open source software is widely used within business software and networking gear — often without companies even knowing it is being used. On top of that, the flaw is easily exploited and can provide extensive access.
