The Day Cybersecurity Decided to Kick Us All in the Ass (Again)

Right, here we go again. Another bloody day, another digital dumpster fire. The ISC folks dropped their Stormcast for October 28th, 2025, and surprise, surprise — the internet’s still on fire, and everyone’s acting like that’s news.

First up, the usual buffet of cyber calamity: some asshats spinning up new phishing campaigns because, apparently, humanity still hasn’t learned not to click on shiny things. There’s chatter about a few new vulnerabilities too — like we haven’t already patched the same goddamn things seventeen times this year. Of course, everyone’s losing their minds over some “critical exploit” that’ll probably turn out to be user error anyway.

Then there’s your garden-variety ransomware, still lurking around like a bad smell. Apparently, threat actors now think it’s cute to leak data before encrypting it — because if you’re gonna ruin someone’s week, may as well **really** fuck their day right up. Top that off with some IoT device idiocy — routers being as secure as a wet paper bag — and you’ve got a full-course cyber apocalypse with a side of “why do I even bother.”

So yeah, patch your systems, update your crap, and maybe stop using “password123” on your goddamn admin accounts. But I won’t hold my breath, because every time I say that, someone in accounting clicks a suspicious link labeled “free Taylor Swift tickets.”

Reminds me of the time I got woken up at 2 AM because “the network was down,” only to find the switch unplugged because some genius decided to vacuum the server room. So yeah, humanity’s still the biggest security flaw in the stack.
