Weekly Recap: Apple 0-Days, WinRAR Exploit, and Other Digital Dumpster Fires
Well, strap the hell in, because this week’s cyber circus is a **flaming dumpster of digital stupidity**. Apple’s apparently been busy patching not one, not two, but a whole fistful of zero-days — because apparently, their devices are better at hoarding vulnerabilities than your grandma’s attic hoards junk. State-backed attackers were allegedly poking at the holes too. Fantastic. Just what the world needed — more spyware with an Apple logo.
Then there’s **WinRAR**, that fossil of a file extractor everyone still inexplicably uses in 2025. Turns out, surprise-freaking-surprise, someone’s found another exploit. A nice little RCE treat! So, congratulations if you’ve been unzipping random crap from strangers — you might’ve just installed malware instead of your “free PDF guide to getting rich.”
Meanwhile, **LastPass** got slapped with fines for being absolute clowns with people’s passwords. I could almost laugh — except it’s our data they keep fumbling like buttered eels. Security? Oh, they’ve heard of it, they just don’t practice it. Brilliant.
Let’s not forget the **.NET Remote Code Execution** fun, because Microsoft’s gotta get their moment in the spotlight too. Whoever’s maintaining that codebase probably deserves a medal for keeping the ship from sinking entirely under its own bugs. Barely.
Oh, and the **OAuth scams** still going strong! Because no cyber crook wants to waste time hacking passwords when idiots will just click “Authorize” faster than they can blink. Honestly, phishing’s less a crime and more a public service at this point — natural selection at work.
So yeah, this week’s basically the same as always: tech companies plugging leaks with duct tape, users clicking stupid links, and hackers making bank off everyone’s incompetence. Business as usual in the cyber apocalypse.

Reminds me of that time I had a user who emailed themselves their password “to keep it safe.” I replaced their desktop background with a picture of a dumpster fire and called it a teaching moment. Didn’t help, but it made me feel better.
