We’ve come to the end of 2022, and what a year it’s been. It was a year marked by war, economic toil, and addressing the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic. Europe was immediately thrust into crisis in February when the Russia-Ukraine War began. Unfortunately, as an Eastern European-based company, many of our colleagues were directly affected by it. Then, more recently and in the United States especially, many tech companies began restructuring their organizations to deal with the looming economic problems that are forecast.

We are delighted to announce that with the release of NXLog Enterprise Edition 5.5, NXLog provides native support for sending log data to the Google Chronicle threat intelligence platform. About Google Chronicle Google Chronicle is a cloud-native SIEM service provided on the Google Cloud Platform. It allows organizations to normalize, correlate, and analyze their logging data. Chronicle makes threat hunting easy by empowering security experts to investigate logs allowing them to take a holistic approach to threat detection.

Last month saw the release of NXLog Community Edition version 3.0. One of the major new features in this release is the added support for sending log data to Raijin Database. This feature opens up exciting possibilities for implementing a custom centralized log collection and storage solution. What is Raijin Database? Raijin Database is a free-of-charge schemaless database engine explicitly designed to store data for analytics efficiently. The fact that it does not require you to define a schema up-front makes it well suited for storing event logs from diverse sources containing different types of information in a structured format.

On the 18th of March, we noticed some unusual activity on one of our servers we use for build automation. Further investigation revealed that an outside party had deployed a Monero miner. The server was immediately taken offline. There was no customer data stored on the server and we have since replaced all our private keys and secrets that might have been potentially compromised. After careful and thorough investigation of the incident, we decided to publish this announcement and share this news with our customers and users, hoping that it might serve as a lesson for others.
