My guess: crowdstrike almost certainly tested what was *supposed* to be in that update but their distribution pipeline failed to retrieve the actual update before pushing it out and sent out an empty file, a situation they did *not* test for

Russian Hacktivist Group Targets Political Websites with DDOS Attacks hubs.li/Q01rQb2Z0
It's been mentioned that the ssh key we're seeing is the one in the @horizon3ai deep dive. Unclear if it's theirs or the same one they're seeing. Could be naive attackers copying their payload verbatim. If it is horizon3 sending out requests I'm assuming they got permission first
Why yes, we do have visibility into this sort of thing, even if it's not targeting WordPress.

This rather catastrophic vulnerability affects anything that uses log4j to log anything that includes user input. And that means it affects nearly every Java application that accepts input from the Web.
