Seriously? *Still* With This Shit? SonicWall SSLVPN, You Absolute Morons.

Oh joy. Another security clusterfuck courtesy of SonicWall. Apparently, their SSLVPN product is getting hammered again with attacks – specifically, a zero-day vulnerability that’s been exploited since January. Like, seriously? We’re talking about remote access here, people! The crown jewels! And they’re telling admins to just… disable it. Brilliant. Just shut down the thing everyone relies on and hope for the best.

They released a patch (SMAv10.2.1.4) but admit it doesn’t *fully* address the issue, so they’re suggesting disabling SSLVPN altogether or upgrading to their newer, hopefully-less-broken product. And if you can’t upgrade? Well, good luck, I guess. They’ve been warning about this for months, apparently, but who listens to SonicWall when they’ve got a track record of releasing security holes faster than they fix them?

The attacks are widespread and targetting multiple systems, so if you’re running this garbage, stop what you’re doing right now. Seriously. Disable it. Now. Before some script kiddie walks off with your entire network because you were too lazy to patch or upgrade.

Honestly, at this point, I’m starting to think SonicWall is deliberately trying to cause chaos. It’s the only explanation for this level of incompetence.

Related Anecdote: I once had a sysadmin tell me he “didn’t have time” to patch a critical server. Two weeks later, his entire database was encrypted with ransomware. He *still* didn’t understand why it happened. Some people just want to watch the world burn, and SonicWall is actively handing them the matches.
