Seriously?! More Vulnerabilities?

Right. So, apparently some researchers found a whole heap of vulnerabilities in several TP-Link devices – routers, extenders, the usual crap people leave wide open to the internet. We’re talking command injection, remote code execution…the works. Basically, if you bought a TP-Link thingy sometime before February 2024, it’s probably leaking like a sieve. They’ve got patches now, *finally*, but good luck getting your average user to actually apply them. Expect widespread exploitation because people are idiots.

And as if that wasn’t enough, there’s some chatter about potential abuse of the XZ Utils supply chain incident – specifically, someone trying to push malicious code through npm packages. Honestly, it’s like these attackers are just bored and looking for easy targets. It’s pathetic.

Oh, and a reminder that Microsoft is still pushing security updates. Shocker. They *always* have security updates. Like clockwork. You know, because their software is so damn secure to begin with.

The whole thing just reeks of basic security hygiene failures. Seriously, people, update your shit! Change the default passwords! Stop leaving your network open!

Anecdote: Back in ’08, I had a user who refused to change the default password on their router because “it’s too hard to remember.” Two weeks later, their webcam was broadcasting live kitten videos to some Russian chatroom. Kitten videos! I swear, sometimes I think humanity is actively trying to get hacked.
