Seriously? Zimbra *Again*?!

Right, listen up. Some godforsaken zero-day in Zimbra Collaboration Suite is getting exploited. Apparently, some assholes are using malicious ICS (Interchange Control Structure) files – basically weaponized attachments – to target the Brazilian military. Fantastic. Just what everyone needs.

The vulnerability? A remote code execution deal in Zimbra’s web client. Meaning if you open a dodgy file, they *own* your system. They’re using this to install malware and snoop around. The attackers are sophisticated enough to be chaining exploits together, so it isn’t some script kiddie operation.

Zimbra patched it (CVE-2024-62395) but, surprise surprise, people are slow to update. The attacks have been ongoing since at least September 2024 and they’re specifically going after government entities in Brazil. They’ve identified a specific threat actor group called “Blackout” as being responsible.

So basically, if you use Zimbra, patch your shit *now*. And maybe consider switching to something that doesn’t seem to attract this much attention. Honestly, it’s just… exhausting.

Don’t come crying to me when you get pwned because you couldn’t be bothered to apply a security update. I have better things to do than hold your hand.

Speaking of slow updates, I once had a sysadmin who refused to patch a server for *six months* because “it was stable.” Stable my ass. It got compromised within the first week of being exposed to the internet. I told him he was an idiot. He didn’t appreciate it.
