The Infosec Clusterfuck of the Day – Courtesy of the Internet

So today’s “news” from the SANS ISC diary – yeah, that delightful corner of the web where the security nerds gather to scream into the void – tells us that the Infocon level is green. Translation: the digital apocalypse hasn’t kicked off yet. No massive worm chewing through the internet, no devastating zero-day making your CEO cry—just the usual dumpster fire simmering quietly in the background.

There’s the usual babble about new malware samples, dodgy DNS traffic, and dipshits exposing admin panels to the world, because some people think “security through hope and prayer” is a valid strategy. And of course, they’ve got logs, data, and graphs for days—because who doesn’t love staring at packet captures like it’s digital tea leaves?

In short: same old internet mayhem, same old idiots clicking attachments marked “INVOICE.PDF.EXE,” and the rest of us cleaning up their sloppy messes. Business as usual, folks. Nothing’s on fire—yet—but I’m keeping the extinguisher handy.

Read the damn thing yourself if you want the grim details.

Anecdote: Reminds me of that time some bright spark left RDP open to the whole bloody internet and then blamed “hackers” when his server got owned in under five minutes. I laughed so hard I nearly reformatted his drive just for fun. Some people run production systems like they’re testing chaos theory. Bloody amateurs.
