The log4J vulnerability allows a remote computer anywhere on earth to take over your computer or through your computer take over other computers

This in a nutshell is the real problem here. It started when Java was first designed to do things like GIFS originally. It wasn't really designed to have the full security of HTML applications. But, eventually it was used for something like the log4J application which any thinking person (if they thought this through right) would never have done this. But then that application was installed likely in operating systems around the world and each of these computers has a potential doorway to other computers they are connected with or could be connected with on the Internet basically anywhere. So, it's a problem in some ways that is never ending and might not have an actual solution (at least at present). In other words to correct this problem could take years and years because of it's nature is so fundamental of being a part of so many operating systems worldwide. 

There are likely many other vulnerabilities to the Internet worldwide also. Some likely only a few know about and they would keep these secret and others are yet to be discovered.

There is really no way to make secure any online computer anywhere on earth completely.

Just like there is no way to make every safe on earth completely safe either.

There is no way to keep all information secure likely any time in the past, present or future. There is always someone who is going to find out if they are willing to pay enough money to someone to find out this information. 

This is just life.

Accepting this is likely important regarding things like computers and the Internet and banking and nations and state secrets too.

All secrets are only a matter of time before someone will discover them. It's only a matter of time.
