ThreatsDay Bulletin: Kali Linux + Claude, Chrome Crash Traps, WinRAR Flaws, LockBit & 15+ Stories

Another Fucking ThreatsDay Bulletin Because You Can’t Be Arsed to Read

Oh for fuck’s sake. It’s that time of the week again where some wanker in marketing decided we need a “ThreatsDay Bulletin” because apparently Friday wasn’t depressing enough already. Let me break down this septic tank of security news for you simpletons who can’t read a goddamn CVE bulletin yourselves.

First up: Some absolute genius decided to marry Kali Linux with Claude AI. Great. Just what we needed. Now every pimply-faced script kiddie with a GPU can ask an AI how to break into your grandmother’s WordPress site. “Hey Claude, how do I nmap the entire internet?” Fucking brilliant. Next thing you know, the PFY in the basement is using machine learning to automate coffee machine hijacking because he thinks he’s the next Mr. Robot.

Meanwhile, Chrome is still a dumpster fire wrapped in a memory leak. New “crash traps” are out there specifically designed to make your browser shit the bed faster than a sysadmin after cheap Indian takeaway. Google keeps patching the bastard with duct tape and prayers, but we all know you’re still going to use it because Firefox is “too slow” or some bollocks. Serves you right when your 47 tabs of cat videos spontaneously combust.

And would you look at that—WinRAR has more holes than a colander at a gun range. Again. For the thousandth fucking time, this ancient piece of Swiss cheese code that everyone insists on using because “it’s what we’ve always used” is letting arbitrary code execute through zip files. Patch it, uninstall it, I don’t give a shit. Just stop calling me when CryptoLocker 5.0 encrypts your wedding photos because you extracted “Invoice.pdf.exe” from some dodgy RAR file.

Oh, and LockBit? Those ransomware slags are back in business because of course they are. Like herpes, they never really go away. They’ll encrypt your files, steal your data, and probably sleep with your wife while they’re at it. Keep making backups, or don’t. I’m not your mother. Actually, I am judging you, and I hope you enjoy explaining to the board why the entire finance share is now named “.locked.”

There’s 15+ other stories in there too, mostly about various IoT devices being about as secure as a paper condom, cloud configurations leaking data like a sieve, and more zero-days than I had cigarettes this morning. Read the bloody link if you care, which you don’t. You’re going to ignore all of this until the building burns down, then blame IT for “not warning us.” Fuck off.

Reminds me of the time I told the PFY to “test the resilience of the backup system” by unplugging the SAN during peak hours. He did. Turns out the backups were as fictional as the CEO’s cybersecurity budget. We spent three days reconstructing SQL databases from photocopied printouts while the Director of Sales cried into his ergonomic keyboard. Wouldn’t have happened if they’d just listened to me and invested in proper tape rotations instead of that cloud bullshit. The PFY “resigned” shortly after. Shame about the accidental elevator shaft incident.
