IBM

IBM experienced a cloud outage on Wednesday that lasted over four hours, causing users to be unable to access the console for managing their cloud resources or to open and view support cases. This outage repeated a similar incident from Tuesday. Additionally, IBM identified a critical-rated vulnerability in its QRadar threat detection and response tools and Cloud Pak for Security integration suite, which left a password in a configuration file. The vulnerability was scored 9.6 on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System, and IBM's security bulletin also advised of four other QRadar flaws.
