Surge in networks scans targeting Cisco ASA devices raise concerns




Cisco ASA Scanning – Ugh.

Seriously? More Cisco Shit.

Right, listen up you lot. Apparently some script kiddies – and let’s be real, it’s *always* script kiddies – are poking around a whole bunch of Cisco ASA firewalls. Like, a lot. Massive network scans, the kind that scream “I’m about to try every exploit I found on a Russian forum.” They’re looking for vulnerable devices, specifically ones still running old-ass software with known holes.

The big worry? A potential wave of exploitation is coming. Cisco’s already issued warnings (surprise, surprise) and are telling people to patch their bloody systems. Like they haven’t been saying that for the last decade. It’s probably some automated botnet thing, because honestly, who has time to manually scan *that* many IPs?

They’re focusing on devices exposed directly to the internet – which is just… brilliant security practice, isn’t it? Seriously, if you haven’t updated your firewall in years, you deserve whatever crap comes your way. Don’t come crying to me when your network gets ransomed.

So yeah, scan activity is up, potential for disaster is high, and Cisco are flapping their gums about patching. It’s the same song and dance, different verse. Honestly, I need a drink.

Speaking of unpatched systems, I once had to deal with a company running Windows XP… in 2018. They were *shocked* when their network got compromised. Shocked! Like they hadn’t heard about security vulnerabilities since the Clinton administration. Some people just want to watch the world burn, and then whine when it gets too hot.
