Yet Another Bloody Day in Cybersecurity Hell

So, apparently it’s Friday, January 30th, 2026, and the fine folks at the SANS Internet Storm Center have once again scraped up a pile of digital chaos for us to pretend we didn’t see coming. The ISC Stormcast is serving its usual cocktail of “oh look, the internet’s still on fire,” but with a twist of “someone out there still hasn’t patched their crappy system.”

We’ve got a lovely lineup of exploits, vulnerabilities, and general dumbassery — ransomware still throwing tantrums, misconfigurations eating networks alive, and some idiot somewhere clicking an attachment clearly named “invoice_virus_attachment.exe”. Because apparently, natural selection doesn’t work in IT.

The Stormcast drones on about updates, advisories, and “threat actor activity.” You know, the usual marketing-friendly way to say, “some asshole’s stealing your data again.” Oh, and there’s the eternal reminder: patch your bloody systems before they patch you. But nah, everyone will still wait until shit hits the fan, then cry to IT like it’s our fault their 2016 server’s coughing up ransomware payloads like hairballs.

Anyway, the world keeps spinning, the networks keep breaking, and people keep doing stupid crap that guarantees the rest of us will never have a boring day again. Cheers to job security, I guess.

Go read it yourself, if you’re into that kind of masochism:

Reminds me of the time a user called me because “the server was slow,” and it turned out they’d set up a public FTP share full of cat videos. The look on their face when I deleted 50GB of furballs was priceless. Some people deserve the malware they get.
