ISC Stormcast Summary – Tuesday, November 25th, 2025 (aka: Yet Another Bloody Day in Infosec Hell)

So here we go again — another *delightful* Stormcast update from the fine folks at SANS talking about today’s dumpster fire of cybersecurity delights. Major highlights? Oh, just the usual shitshow: new vulnerabilities popping up like goddamn weeds after a rainstorm, threat actors getting smarter (or maybe we’re getting dumber), and patches you’ll probably forget to apply before something sets your network on fire.

Apparently, there’s some fresh chatter about phishing attacks getting craftier, malware morphing faster than a sysadmin’s coffee budget, and more “urgent patch now!” advisories than anyone sane can keep track of. The ISC team also mentioned new issues with web app security, and some poor sods got burned by yet another supply chain mess — because apparently, none of us learned jack from the last ten of those.

To top it off, the usual rundown of CVEs made an appearance, the patch circus is in full swing, and users are still clicking on every goddamn link that lands in their inbox. Same shit, different day. So yeah, if your systems are still standing after this week, buy your IT crew a drink — preferably a whole damn bottle.

Reminds me of the time a user told me their computer “was acting funny” — turned out they’d helpfully installed five different “free antivirus” tools that were all malware themselves. I just nodded, wiped the machine, and told them it was a “ghost in the system.” Ghost my ass.
