ISC Stormcast for October 29th, 2025 – Yet Another Glorious Pile of Security Dumpster Fires

So, the good folks over at ISC dropped their daily dose of digital doom. The highlight? A bunch of cyber jackasses are still exploiting the usual crap – unpatched systems, weak ass passwords, and the kind of “security hygiene” that would make a mold colony blush. The Stormcast basically reminded us that patching your system on time isn’t a goddamn elective, yet somehow sysadmins still treat it like a weekend hobby.

As always, the tech clowns of the world are happily running old software versions that should’ve been given a Viking funeral ages ago. There’s talk about malicious PDFs floating around—because apparently, we never learned to stop clicking random junk email attachments titled “Invoice” or “NudeCEO.pdf”. Then there’s more yammering about busted cloud configs that leave data wide open like a cheap motel door. Marvelous.

So yeah, it’s another day in Cyber Hell, where people forget that “security best practices” means actually doing the thing, not just talking about it during the quarterly PowerPoint presentation. If you’re one of those delightful humans still ignoring patches or dumping admin creds into scripts, congratulations—you’re why we can’t have nice things.

Reminds me of the time some genius in accounting called me because “the printer is on fire.” It wasn’t—someone just printed 600 copies of a phishing email, thinking toner would somehow block malware. Bastards.
