ThreatsDay Bulletin: Oh Great, Now the Machines Are Faking Our Damn Voices

Alright, strap in, because this week’s ThreatsDay Bulletin reads like the AI apocalypse bingo card from hell. Apparently, some asshats out there figured it’d be fun to take AI voice cloning to new, terrifying levels. Yup, the same tech that lets people make fake celebrity songs is now being used by cyber-scumbags to impersonate you, your boss, maybe even your grandma. Brilliant. Now, your voicemail is just one bad “deepfake” away from draining your bank account.

Then there’s some new “Wi-Fi Kill Switch” nonsense—because who doesn’t want their router to suddenly decide to take a nap mid-Zoom call? Attackers can cut off devices from Wi-Fi like they’re flipping a bloody light switch. Fantastic. Guess I’ll just run an Ethernet cable through the damn ceiling again.

And of course, it wouldn’t be a true ThreatsDay without industrial control system (PLC) vulnerabilities. Because apparently, factories, power grids, and critical infrastructure STILL run on security from the Stone Age. If it’s got a PLC, some teenager in a basement can probably make it dance, explode, or burn money faster than your IT department can say “firmware update.”

Oh, and there’s a laundry list of 14 more cyber dumpster fires—zero-days, phishing kits, malware campaigns, and other delightful nuggets ensuring that every sysadmin sleeps with one eye open. It’s a digital circus, and everyone’s invited, whether you like it or not.

So, to sum up: AI’s impersonating everyone, Wi-Fi’s dying at random, industrial systems are still Swiss cheese, and the internet remains one giant flaming pile of security nightmares. Same shit, different ThreatsDay.

Read the full glorious mess here.

Reminds me of that time some bright spark thought “Let’s connect the coffee machine to the office network for convenience.” Three hours later, the entire building was infected with ransomware named “Latte.exe” and the coffee tasted like shame and despair. Some lessons, it seems, humanity refuses to learn.
