"The Log4j Vulnerability: Millions of Attempts Made Per Hour to Exploit Software Flaw - Hundreds of millions of devices are at risk, U.S. officials say"

I'm sorry, but this edit from you is just stupid.

Not as stupid as claiming it's just another security flaw. Some of us also aspire to better.

Yes they had vulnerability. It is embarrassment when you have too many of them or when you dont fix them.

The "hundreds of millions of devices are at risk" thing happened only because log4j is used a lot. That is pretty much opposite of embarrassment.
