One customer unleashed the bug that caused major websites to go offline earlier this week, Fastly said yesterday. The bug was dormant in the content delivery network’s code since mid-May, but it wasn’t until the customer in question updated their settings that it let rip, causing a shutdown that affected governments, streamers and news outlets worldwide. The company handles 10% of the world’s internet traffic, so the outage has raised issues about the concentration of critical internet infrastructure. Meanwhile, the world’s biggest meat processor JBS Foods said it paid a $14.2 million ransom to Russian hackers to stop the cyber attack which halted its global operations, including in Australia, for 5 days. While officials warn paying ransoms sets a “dangerous precedent”, JBS boss Andre Nogueira said it was a “very difficult decision” to make, but it was done to protect its customers.
