JPMorgan Chase has reported financing $230bn in projects during the first year of its $1.5tn Security and Resiliency Initiative, aimed at strengthening U.S. supply chains, national security, and economic resilience.

The flaws could allow hackers to take control of web servers without a password. The organisation behind the language issued a patch on Wednesday after researchers testing cyberdefences discovered the flaws. The UK’s National Cyber Security Centre told organisations to check for “backdoors installed by an attacker.” Prof Alan Woodward, a cybersecurity expert at Surrey University in the UK, said: “The big thing is for everyone using [the patch] to get that in to make sure their systems are safe.
