Apple iCloud, Twitter & Minecraft vulnerable to ubiquitous zero-day exploit

First two sentences.......

"A number of popular services, including Apple iCloud, Twitter, Cloudflare,
Minecraft and Steam, are reportedly vulnerable to a zero-day exploit
affecting a popular Java logging library."

"The vulnerability, dubbed Log4Shell by researchers at LunaSec and credited
to Chen Zhaojun of Alibaba, has been found in Apache Log4j, an open source
logging utility that's used in a huge number of apps, websites and
services."

Programmers do it bit by bit.
