Richard Werner, Business Consultant at Trend Micro: The “boss scam” is one of the so-called “confidence scams” – i.e. fraud that has to do with the victim’s belief. The story and overall impression must be right. Already…

Log4Shell or Solarwinds are typical examples of attacks on companies through their software supply chain. It is characteristic that cybercriminals do not gain direct access to the target company, but attack via a back door. A comment from Trend Micro. If you look back at some recent attacks (esp. Solarwinds or Log4Shell), you will notice that they are playing more and more "over gangs". This means that the attackers no longer attack target companies directly, but via their (software) supply chain. Whether victims are attacked via compromised Solarwinds updates or vulnerabilities in Log4Shell - in both...

The answer to the question of whether Log4j / Log4Shell was unique is no. Certainly, the impact of the Log4Shell vulnerability was unusual. But RCE vulnerabilities are not uncommon. This was also shown by the attack in spring 2021 by the group known as "Hafnium" on Microsoft Exchange. Software modules, such as the currently affected library, which are used in many applications in parallel and thus offer a wide range of attack points, are also part of everyday IT life. Still – what is special about the Log4j / Log4Shell incident is that all these factors come together. Other weaknesses in everyday IT This at least happens rarely,…
