ISC Stormcast – November 7th, 2025: Yet Another Day in Cybersecurity Hell

Ah, another glorious bastard of a day in cybersecurity land. The ISC Stormcast for November 7th, 2025, serves up all the joy of a Monday morning meeting with management and none of the coffee. The daily dose covers the usual dumpster fire of vulnerabilities, phishing crap, and some new “brilliant” ways asshats are trying to break into systems they don’t own. Honestly, it’s getting to the point where I wonder if some people are *trying* to get pwned just for the attention.

So what do we have? Well, there’s chatter about the latest patch fiesta — because obviously, no vendor can release code without a gaping security hole the size of a freight train. Patches are out for the usual suspects — Microsoft, Adobe, and some random IoT crap that should’ve never been connected to the internet in the first place. But hey, who needs common sense when you’ve got a smart refrigerator that orders milk and leaks credentials like a sieve?

Then there’s the fresh crop of threat intel — new phishing campaigns, dodgy domains, and all the other flavourless security porridge you swallow every day. Some clown thinks embedding malicious macros in “urgent” invoices is still innovative. Newsflash: it’s not 2003 anymore, you malware muppets. Go get a real job — preferably one that doesn’t involve breaking shit.

And of course, someone somewhere is still talking about AI’s “impact on cybersecurity.” Oh great, because handing more power to an algorithm that can barely tell a cat picture from a calculator is definitely what we need right now. Let’s automate our way right into the apocalypse, shall we?

In short: patch your damn systems, stop clicking suspicious links, and if you’re still using “Password123”, I hope your account gets compromised just so you learn something. Another fine day on the internet — the rest of us hardworking bastards will be here cleaning up the digital shitstorm you leave behind.

Anecdote from the Trenches: Reminds me of the time some genius called me because their “server went offline after applying an update.” Turns out the update was them “tidying up old files” — which included /etc. Yeah, “cleaning” like a bloody nuke. I just hung up and poured another coffee. Some problems fix themselves — usually when the morons quit.
