ISC Stormcast For Thursday, December 11th, 2025 – The World’s Still on Fire, Shocking, I Know

Well, strap in folks, because the infosec clown show continues. The ISC Stormcast for December 11th, 2025, is basically a reminder that cybercriminals, script kiddies, and lazy sysadmins are all in a race to see who can make the internet suck harder. We’ve got fresh exploits, phishing droppings, and “new” vulnerabilities that are really just the same old crap wearing a different hat. Everything’s still on fire, but at this point, who the hell’s surprised?

The episode rants about the latest vulnerabilities floating around—yay, more patches we’ll all ignore until the servers are actively belching smoke. There’s also the usual round of malware campaigns and phishing nonsense: users still click crap, threat actors still win, and we all pretend this is unexpected. Oh, and some new network weirdness is making every SOC analyst want to crawl into a hole. So business as bloody usual.

In other words, patch your damn systems, stop trusting email attachments that promise free crypto, and for the love of uptime, monitor your logs more than once a week. Same song, different verse. The only constant in this hellscape is user stupidity and my growing hatred for humanity’s outstanding ability to ignore basic security.

Reminds me of the time some genius at a previous gig thought “admin/admin” was a bold and secure password choice. When the inevitable breach happened, they acted like it was the universe’s fault. Morons. Anyway, back to watching the digital dumpster fire burn.
