ISC Stormcast For Monday, November 24th, 2025 – Another Day, Another Batch of Internet Stupidity

Oh, bloody hell, it’s Monday again, and the Internet’s on fire — surprise surprise. The ISC Stormcast for Nov 24th, 2025, comes in with its usual parade of crap. We’ve got the typical nonsense: new vulnerabilities, patches no one installs, and malware that’s apparently smarter than half the human population. Shocking, I know.

Microsoft’s probably got another “critical” update that everyone will ignore until something goes *boom*, and there’s likely a shiny new exploitation method floating around, giving sysadmins the kind of heartburn that only bad coffee and worse documentation can fix. Somewhere, some dipshit still thinks RDP open to the Internet is fine — because “what could possibly go wrong?” Everything, pal. Absolutely everything.

Then we’ve got the usual IoT dumpster fire. Some genius has connected their smart toaster to the public web again, and surprise — it’s part of a botnet now. I swear, at this point, these devices should just come pre-hacked to save time. Meanwhile, attackers are out there doing the digital equivalent of kicking in unlocked doors, and we’re all stuck running around applying duct-tape patches to keep systems barely alive.

In summary: same crap, different Monday. The Internet’s still a festering pit of misconfigurations, unpatched systems, and people who think two-factor authentication is “too inconvenient.” Buckle up, drink your caffeinated poison, and get ready for another week of dealing with the digital apocalypse one log entry at a time.

Reminds me of the time some bright spark plugged a “smart fish tank thermometer” into the corporate LAN, and we got ransomwared by a goldfish. True story. Stayed late that night pulling cables and questioning my life choices.
