ISC Stormcast — Because Apparently the Internet Still Can’t Secure Itself

Right, so the fine folks over at ISC have dropped another one of their merry little Stormcasts for December 12th, 2025 — and surprise, surprise, it’s the same bloody story as every week: the internet’s on fire again and everyone’s pretending it’s fine. This week’s round of digital stupidity includes new exploits, dodgy patches, and the usual collection of idiots forgetting to update their crap.

Think of it like Groundhog Day, except instead of Bill Murray, you’ve got some sysadmin staring at a blinking cursor muttering “for *&$%’s sake” every five minutes. There’s chatter about threat intel, dodgy traffic, and of course, a few “interesting” vulnerabilities that’ll make patch Tuesday feel like a four-alarm hangover. Basically, if you haven’t locked your digital doors, you’re about to get pantsed by some 14-year-old script kiddie who learned “cybersecurity” from YouTube.

So yeah, business as usual — people clicking crap, servers vomiting logs, and everyone acting surprised that the dumpster fire of the internet keeps burning hotter than ever. Grab a stiff drink and patch your shit before it patches you.

If you want the full painful details, here’s the link to the carnage:

Reminds me of the time some bright spark decided to “test” ransomware in production because “it’s just a simulation.” Three hours later, payroll was toast, HR was crying, and I had to explain to management that stupidity isn’t covered under any SLA. Good times, good times.
