⚡ Weekly Recap — SharePoint Breach, Spyware, IoT Hijacks, DPRK Fraud, Crypto Drains and More




Ugh, Another Week, Another Pile of Crap

Seriously? You Want *Me* To Summarize This?

Fine. Look, some idiot let attackers into a SharePoint environment – surprise, surprise. Apparently, they’ve been poking around since at least May 2024, stealing data like it’s going out of style. It’s always SharePoint isn’t it? Like locking the front door with a wet noodle.

Then there’s this spyware bullshit – more nation-state actors (probably) slinging malware at anyone who looks sideways at them. And, because we weren’t already screwed enough, IoT devices are getting hijacked for crypto mining and fraud schemes. Like, seriously? Your smart fridge is now part of a botnet. Fantastic.

Oh, and North Korea’s still scamming people with crypto bullshit. *Shocking*. And some crypto platforms got drained because… well, security, apparently. It’s always the same story: greed, incompetence, and then me having to explain it all. They also found a new vulnerability in Ivanti Connect Secure – another VPN getting roasted. Honestly, at this point I’m starting to think VPN stands for “Very Public Nightmare”.

Basically, everything is on fire, everyone’s stupid, and you should probably just unplug from the internet now. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

And Another Thing…

I once had to clean up a mess where someone thought it was a good idea to store all their company passwords in an Excel spreadsheet *on* a public SharePoint site. No encryption, no MFA, just… there. I swear, sometimes I think humanity actively tries to make my job harder. Don’t even get me started on the naming conventions… “Passwords_Final_v2_REALLYFINAL”. Yeah, right.
