News

Welcome to the first newsletter of 2022. We’ve now started again after the turn of the year with what we do best, continuously developing the cloud where web services/applications are available to all users worldwide. Recently, we have introduced significant cloud services such as anycast DNS and Global LoadBalancers on the platform but have also made many tiny improvements to the my.fuga.cloud portal. For example, to work with multiple developers via teams and pay on invoices for companies.

Where people use software, hackers will continue to look for vulnerabilities. And every once in a while, a security breach comes to light, which shakes the world to its foundations. On Friday, December 10, 2021, a leak was added to the illustrious list of predecessors, this time a leak in Apache Log4j. The vulnerability has been designated CVE-2021-44228 and is also known as Log4Shell or LogJam. The Apache Log4j 2 tool is part of the open-source Apache framework commonly used for logging Java applications.

The year is coming to an end and, we are busy wrapping things up. It’s a perfect time for an update in this newsletter. We stay busy with tutorials, how you can still earn swag, our NPS score, and a status update on Frankfurt and GAIA-X. Furthermore, Fuga Direct Connect is new and is now available to you. Lars, among others, has worked on this, and we would like to introduce him (and his hands) to you.

The vulnerabilities gives attackers the possibility to induce a denial-of-service by clogging network I/O on affected systems. This attack will result in a system crash of the server or instance. Since the announcement, our engineers have been mapping out the impact of these vulnerabilities and have taken several measures to protect the Fuga Cloud services.
