Seriously?! More Vulnerabilities?

Right, listen up. Because apparently some people need it spelled out for them. The SANS ISC diary is, as usual, full of shit you should already be handling if you’re not a complete moron. This week’s highlight reel of incompetence includes updates on the MOVEit Transfer mess – still going strong, because *of course* it is. Like leaving the front door open and being surprised when people walk in.

Then there’s some crap about Citrix ADC/NetScaler vulnerabilities (CVE-2023-46747, CVE-2023-46748, CVE-2023-4911), which means someone *again* forgot to patch their stuff. And a whole load of other vendor alerts that frankly, if you need SANS to tell you about them, you’re already screwed. They also mention some green infocon activity – which is just a fancy way of saying “some script kiddies are poking around”.

Basically? Patch your systems. Monitor your networks. Stop relying on other people to fix *your* security failures. It’s not rocket science, it’s basic hygiene. And for the love of all that is holy, read the damn advisories yourself instead of waiting for a summary from some blog.

Oh, and they mention a new version of GoPlusSec. Great. More tools to clutter up my already overflowing toolbox. Just what I needed.

Related Anecdote: Back in ’98, I had a user call because their computer was “running slow”. Turns out they’d downloaded every single screensaver available on the internet. *Every. Single. One.* And then complained that Windows wouldn’t start. Some things never change. People are just…special.
