The Week in Cyber Chaos – AI Gone Bonkers, Notepad++ Gets Shafted, and 31Tbps of “Networking Brilliance”

Oh for f*ck’s sake, another week, another digital dumpster fire. So here’s the bloody recap: some genius malware now uses “AI skills,” because apparently even the bad guys want to play with machine learning toys. Great. Just what we needed—ransomware with an f*cking IQ. Watch out, your files aren’t just getting encrypted anymore—they’re getting psychoanalyzed first.

Then there’s the f*cking internet meltdown: a record-breaking 31Tbps DDoS attack. That’s right, someone shoved a literal firehose of data down the pipes because… why not? Clearly there’s not enough porn to download, so let’s just take the internet itself out for a nice long nap. ISPs everywhere are screaming into a pillow while network admins openly weep into their Red Bulls.

As if that wasn’t enough, our dear old Notepad++—the sainted text editor of tired coders and caffeine junkies—got popped by some clever bastards exploiting vulnerabilities. Because apparently, nothing is sacred anymore. You can’t even edit a damn log file without feeling like you’re one keystroke away from doom.

Oh, and let’s not forget about the “LLM backdoors”. Some bright schmucks found new ways to screw with large language models, planting sneaky little commands so the AIs blurt out secrets or go all HAL 9000 on your systems. Lovely. Maybe next week we’ll get “AI worms” that email your ex while encrypting your cat photos.

Rounding out the circus, there’s your usual buffet of zero-days, misconfigured APIs, and bleeding-edge stupidity—all lovingly served on a platter of “Oops, we didn’t patch that.”

So yeah, another week in cyber hell, folks. Patch your sh*t, double-check your configs, and for the love of all things binary—stop connecting untested AI crap to production servers. It’s like handing a toddler a chainsaw and hoping for the best.

Reminds me of the time someone at the office thought it’d be “neat” to pipe ChatGPT outputs directly into our firewall rules. Ten minutes later, the entire dev network was locked out, the coffee machine was somehow on the guest Wi-Fi, and I had to spend my afternoon babysitting logs instead of breaking something fun. Bloody amateurs.
