How come there’s so little talk in here about the Log4j vulnerability?

I only saw one post about it here, and it’s dead with people dismissing it for no reason. Why?
So we all saw the news of coinbase and coinmarketcap price “glitch” and absolutely no one has an explanation as of yet. However, we’ve recently learned of the new vulnerability log4j that gives hackers easy access to servers and manipulate/extract/etc information. I don’t think this is just a coincidence here.
Why aren’t people worried of Bitcoin and crypto exchanges being attacked?
Some of the attacks have been [nation state hackers](https://ift.tt/3GMybE3). What’s to stop anti-bitcoin countries such as China to use this to steal exchanges’ stored bitcoins and eradicate an asset they do not believe in? Or at the very least dramatically hurt the reputation leaving it “dead” for years?
It seems to me like we could have Mt Gox all over again, but on a bigger scale. We have some companies trying to stay on top of it [but it’s not entirely a fix, and some will be taking years to be able to fix this issue](https://ift.tt/3e0I3O5) On top of that, it seems like it’s difficult to tell if a system has already been compromised so we could see something devastating happen down the line.
And of course this applies to way more than just bitcoin.
So my question would be:
What are you guys doing to prepare your finances to be secure?
Are many of you still going to continue with your coins on exchanges or are you finally making the move to hard wallet? And what are your thoughts regarding this exploit and how it can effect bitcoins overall stability/price in the coming year(s)?
