Surprise surprise, we've done it again. We've demonstrated an ability to compromise significantly sensitive networks, including governments, militaries, space agencies, cyber security companies, supply chains, software development systems and environments, and more. “Ugh, won’t they just stick to creating poor-quality memes?” we
Welcome to Monday, and what an excitingly fresh start to the week we're all having. Grab your coffee, grab your vodka - we're diving into a currently exploited-in-the-wild critical Authentication Bypass affecting foRtinet's (we are returning the misspelling gesture 🥰) flagship SSLVPN appliance, the
Did you have a good break? Have you had a chance to breathe? Wake up. It’s 2025, and the chaos continues. Haha, see what we did? We wrote the exact same thing in 2024 because 2024 was exactly the same. As an industry, we are on GroundHog day

Part of this is because I’ve been very busy with work, but it’s also because I’ve felt overwhelmed. There are now a lot of bad-faith actors in positions of power. Part of their game plan is to spray a mass of obviously false, intellectually shallow, enraging nonsense into the world as quickly as possible. At a certain point the bullshit seeps in if you’re soaking in it. The ability to control over what you see next is powerful. I think it would be great if more people started being a bit more choosy about who they give that control to.
