Weekly Recap: Hackers Gone Wild, CPUs Broken, and the Internet Burns (Again)
Well, strap in, because apparently the world’s cyber defenses are made out of used toilet paper. First up on this week’s grand parade of digital idiocy: those cheerful sociopaths from North Korea, the Lazarus Group, decided Web3 wasn’t bleeding enough money, so they popped by to nick whatever wasn’t nailed down. Some fancy new malware campaign targeting wallets, DeFi junk, and anyone dumb enough to think blockchain equals “secure.” Spoiler: it doesn’t, you gullible crypto-clown.
Then there’s Intel and AMD—our two beloved silicon overlords—who apparently left the bloody front door open. Some bright bastards found new ways to crack their Trusted Execution Environments. “Trusted,” my ass. Now you can think of your CPU as an untrustworthy little bastard that leaks your secrets while pretending to keep them safe. Great job, everyone, round of applause for another steaming pile of “oops.”
And because this circus never ends, some fresh dark web leak tool has popped up to make data-dumping faster and easier—think Napster, but for stolen misery. Hacktivists, crooks, and wannabe cyber Robin Hoods are just drooling at the thought of pumping out “leaks” like it’s a bloody open bar.
Oh, and did we mention? There’s enough ransomware, supply-chain chaos, and espionage skulduggery floating around that you’d think the entire Internet was run by sleep-deprived raccoons with a grudge against humanity. Because, well… it practically is.
Bottom line: same shit, different week. Nobody patches. Everyone gets popped. And somewhere, a sysadmin is weeping into their coffee while upper management asks why things “just don’t work.”
Reminds me of that time I “accidentally” deleted the CEO’s Outlook folder after he asked if his password could be “1234” because he “didn’t want to forget it.” He didn’t forget it again. Neither did I.
