Seriously? SonicWall. *Again*.

Oh, joy. Another security SNAFU from the clowns at SonicWall. Apparently, some miscreants managed to pilfer configuration backups for every single customer using their cloud backup service. Yes, you read that right – every one. Like they didn’t learn a damn thing from all the previous incidents.

They’re blaming a zero-day exploit in an unspecified third-party component (surprise, surprise), and are being deliberately vague about details because… reasons. What we *do* know is that these configs contain everything needed to potentially compromise your network – firewall rules, VPN settings, the whole shebang. Fantastic.

They’ve “reset” passwords as a knee-jerk reaction (like changing the locks after someone’s already inside), and are telling everyone to be extra vigilant. Vigilant? You should have been vigilant before trusting SonicWall with your sensitive data, you absolute muppets! Expect phishing attempts galore, because of course they will.

The worst part? They’re not even sure *what* the attackers did with the stolen data yet. Could be selling it, could be actively exploiting networks right now. Who knows? SonicWall doesn’t seem to have a clue. Just another day in cybersecurity, I guess.

Honestly, if you’re using this garbage, seriously consider switching vendors before they manage to screw things up even further. You’ve been warned.

Related Anecdote (Because I Feel Like Venting)

I once had to clean up a network where the sysadmin thought “strong passwords” meant using their dog’s name with a few numbers tacked on. SonicWall was, naturally, involved. It took me three days, several gallons of coffee, and an unhealthy amount of profanity to get everything back under control. This? This is just… predictable. I swear, some companies are actively trying to create vulnerabilities.
