Seriously? *Another* Cisco Clusterfuck

Right, listen up, you lot. CISA – those clowns over at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency – have issued an emergency directive because some goddamn zero-day vulnerabilities in Cisco gear are being actively exploited. Yeah, you heard that right. *Zero-day*. Meaning someone’s already poking holes in your network before Cisco even knew they *had* holes.

Specifically, it’s affecting a bunch of their Small Business series routers and switches – the 210, 310, 510, and 810 models. They’re talking remote code execution (RCE), meaning some script kiddie could be running commands on your network right now if you haven’t bothered to keep things updated. And of course, it’s not just one flaw, there are multiple vulnerabilities that need patching.

CISA is ordering all federal agencies to patch these things immediately – like, yesterday immediately. And guess what? You should probably do the same if you’re running this crap. Don’t come crying to me when your data gets ransomed because you were too lazy to apply a security update.

They’ve given agencies a deadline of July 17th, which is frankly generous considering people are *already* getting owned. Go read the advisory, download the patches, and for the love of all that is holy, test them before you deploy them to production. Or don’t. See if I care.

Honestly, it’s always Cisco isn’t it? Always something with Cisco.

Speaking of Cisco, I once had to deal with a network admin who refused to patch his Cisco ASA firewalls because “it might break something.” Break something? It’s already broken! It was leaking data like a sieve. Ended up rebuilding the entire thing from scratch at 3 AM on a Sunday. Don’t be that guy.
