Cybersecurity researchers and firms are continually working to introduce advanced digital security systems to prevent hackers from getting hold of significant data from major companies and organizations. However, a recent study by researchers from the University of Cambridge shows that almost all computer code is vulnerable to a specific bug that is currently present in all computer code compilers in the market.
As a result, the report suggests that this vulnerability could initiate large-scale supply chain attacks in many industries. So, the vulnerability disclosure was coordinated with various organizations in the market, as per Krebs’ report. The report also suggests that some companies have promised to roll out patches to fix the vulnerability, while other companies are reportedly “dragging their feet.”
