ISC Stormcast for February 13th, 2026 — The Internet Never Stops Being a Dumpster Fire

Oh joy, another week, another pile of flaming digital excrement from the world of cybersecurity. The ISC Stormcast for Friday, February 13th, 2026, basically sums up all the usual crap — vulnerabilities everywhere, patching madness, and some new halfwit hacking groups making life miserable for everyone who forgets to update their junk.

So, apparently it’s another round of “let’s fix what should’ve been fixed a decade ago.” We’ve got exploit kits doing the rounds faster than a sysadmin on Red Bull, phishing campaigns tricking users who still think clicking attachments from “FreePrizesNow” is a great idea, and vendors shipping “security updates” that break everything else they touch. The whole thing’s like watching a clown car crash into a spam factory — you want to look away, but morbid curiosity wins every damn time.

Oh, and don’t forget the cherry on top — the usual stats and advisories reminding us that the apocalypse is just one “unpatched router” away. Because apparently, common sense went out the window long before IPv6 adoption did. In short: patch your crap, stop trusting strangers on the internet, and maybe — just maybe — read the damn logs once in a while.

Reminds me of that one Friday when some bright spark “tested” a new firewall rule by locking out the entire company network. Best part? They did it during my lunch break. So yeah, happy patching, idiots — just don’t call me when your server catches fire.
