ISC Stormcast for Tuesday, February 10th, 2026 – Or How the Internet Continues to Be a Dumpster Fire

So today’s ISC Stormcast basically sums up another day in the glorious world of cybersecurity chaos. Patch Tuesday rolls in, and surprise, surprise, Microsoft’s vomiting out security fixes faster than you can say “unpatched Exchange server.” Like clockwork, admins scramble to update before some script-kiddie with too much free time turns the latest CVE into their next side hustle.

Meanwhile, there’s chatter about new malware variants slithering their way through the net, because apparently the bad guys didn’t get the memo that we’ve all had enough of their crap. Add in some dodgy IoT exploits and a sprinkling of phishing campaigns that only an absolute muppet would fall for, and you’ve got yourself a perfect digital storm. The same old circus, just with new clowns.

In short: patch your bloody systems, stop clicking suspicious links, and for the love of caffeine, don’t expose RDP to the damn Internet. If you don’t, don’t come crying when your “production-critical server” gets turned into a crypto-mining sweatshop. Some people never learn.

Reminds me of the time some genius left the firewall wide open “just for testing” over the weekend. Monday morning, we had more weird traffic than a 2AM subreddit. Guess who spent the day sanitizing logs and pretending everything was fine? Yeah, this bastard did. Moral of the story? Patch, secure, and *for fuck’s sake*, maybe read the bloody update notes once in a while.
