IEEE Computer Society Analysis Links Log4j Flaw to Shift in Cybersecurity Risk Economics

IEEE Computer Society published an analysis revisiting the December 2021 Log4Shell vulnerability (CVE-2021-44228) found in the widely used Apache Log4j logging library. The piece argues that the flaw, initially seen as a technical bug, escalated into a global security crisis that pushed organizations to reassess how they evaluate and manage security risk financially.

Assetnote scanners mistakenly attack NTP volunteer server linked via Tesla CNAME

A volunteer running an NTP pool server discovered persistent attack traffic, including Log4Shell-style payloads, arriving from AWS-hosted IPs tied to the security firm Assetnote. The traffic carried Host headers referencing pool-ntp.tesla.com, a domain Tesla points via CNAME to the public NTP Pool, causing Assetnote's scanners to treat the volunteer's server as a Tesla-owned asset. The issue was reported and resolved after Assetnote's team responded.
