ThreatsDay Bulletin: Codespaces RCE – Another Glorious Shitshow in Tech Security

Well, folks, it’s another beautiful day in the flaming garbage pile we call the internet. This week’s “ThreatsDay Bulletin” serves up a buffet of digital catastrophes that’ll make any poor sod in IT want to punt their laptop into the nearest volcano. So let’s wade through the cyber muck, shall we?

First up, we’ve got a remote code execution (RCE) nightmare in GitHub Codespaces — because obviously giving people browser-based dev environments wasn’t risky enough already. Some clever bastards figured out a way to push malicious code through the system because apparently, “sandboxing” is just a suggestion these days. So yeah, attackers can hijack sessions and run all sorts of demented scripts. Lovely.

Then there’s AsyncRAT making a comeback — that persistent little crapstain of a remote access tool. It’s popping up again in phishing campaigns, silently turning unsuspecting users’ systems into obedient zombie slaves. That’s right, people are *still* clicking attachments they shouldn’t. Because apparently, “don’t trust random attachments” is too advanced a concept.

Oh, and let’s not forget the “Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver” (BYOVD) trickery — hackers tossing dodgy drivers into the mix to dodge security software. Because why bother with zero-days when you can just weaponize the trash already lying around in Windows? Genius-level evil right there.

And for the cherry on top, AI cloud platforms are getting poked and prodded too. Attackers are hijacking GPU instances, scraping AI models, and running crypto-miners like it’s Black Friday in HackerLand. Great — now the cloud is on fire, and the robots are being used to mine dodgecoin.

So yeah, this week’s “news” is basically a highlights reel of everything broken in tech — which, to be honest, is pretty much everything. Patch your crap, update your systems, and stop clicking shiny attachments. Or don’t, and give me something to laugh about next week.

Reminds me of that one time a dev spun up a public S3 bucket with our credentials, and then had the audacity to ask me why the bill was $5,000 higher. I told him it was a “cloud tax” for stupidity. Haven’t seen him since. Probably hiding under a desk somewhere.
