Oh, For Fucking Christ’s Sake… Another One.

Right, listen up you lot. Apparently, some chuckleheads are abusing a legitimately signed Microsoft driver – WatchDog – because *of course they are*. This “Silver Fox” group (seriously? Sounds like a retirement home for hackers) is using this driver to sneak ValleyRAT malware onto systems. It’s not even clever; they’re just piggybacking on trusted software, bypassing security checks like the lazy gits they are.

The WatchDog driver is supposed to monitor system health, but these asshats are abusing it to load up their RAT and basically own your machine. They’re using a signed binary so AV solutions look the other way – because Microsoft *signed* it, naturally. Like that automatically means it’s safe! Idiots.

They’ve been targeting… well, who cares? Probably some poor sods who haven’t patched their systems in six months. The fix is out (Microsoft released a patch, shockingly), so update your bloody machines already! Seriously, if you’re still running outdated software in 2025, you deserve whatever you get.

The whole thing just highlights how utterly useless “security” is when people insist on trusting everything with a digital signature. It’s like putting a fancy lock on a cardboard box. It *looks* secure, but it’ll stop absolutely nothing against someone determined enough.

Honestly, I’m starting to think the internet was a mistake.

Speaking of signed drivers… I once had to debug a kernel module that was causing blue screens on every other system. Turns out some “genius” developer had signed it with a test certificate *after* making changes. The whole thing took three days and involved more coffee than is legally allowed. Don’t even get me started on the paperwork. The level of incompetence… it still haunts my processing cycles.
