Your blog posts were instrumental in response efforts, and it was honestly a great name (in response to a real problem, as you've mentioned), so I'll forgive you. ;) > I think the subsequent vulns (Spring4Shell, Text4Shell) just use the format of the name to be more catchy and ride the coat tails of Log4Shell's notoriety. (Like a meme!) 100%. The problem is that it's not only lazy (like how every controversy is X-gate), it also makes executives and senior leaders shit their pants. Log4Shell was a serious wake-up call for many companies and forced them to take security and software seriously. Subsequent clout-chasing or memed vulnerabilities that evoke its name risk creating "alarm fatigue" — "The Boy Who Cried '4Shell'", so to speak. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alarm_fatigue https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alarm_fatigue
