This is in the first paragraph of the article (emphasis mine)
>[...], warning that malicious hackers are remotely wiping the drives using a previously unknown critical flaw [...]
This flaw was reported in 2018. Later in the article it even states as much
>Examine the CVE attached to this flaw and you’ll notice it was issued in 2018. [...]
Am I misinterpreting something here? I feel like I am; I'm pretty tired. Or, perhaps, a slight goof in the opening paragraph.
- stavros 5y agoLooks like they removed that sentence. Personally, I like to think that by "previously unknown" they meant "we didn't know about it before we learned about it".
- edoceo 5y agoWe ignored it until others reminded us.
- takeda 5y agoLooks like it was fixed.
- iJohnDoe 5y agoThe article didn’t really add anything new or any new perspectives. I imagine it was a “check the box” post to make sure the site included something major like this.
