Dutch Authorities Confirm Ivanti Zero-Day Exploit Exposed Employee Contact Data

Oh, bloody fantastic – just when you thought your week couldn’t get any more of a dumpster fire, the Dutch authorities have confirmed that Ivanti’s shiny little screw-up of a zero‑day has gone and leaked employee contact data. Yes, that’s right, another “Holy shit, we’ve been pwned!” moment brought to you by the magical world of unpatched corporate software.

The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) of the Netherlands had to step in and say, “Surprise, folks! Someone’s been joyriding through Ivanti Connect Secure and Policy Secure gateways.” Turns out those zero‑days were chained together like a hacker’s wet dream, letting attackers slip in, scrape out internal junk, and vanish like a fart in a hurricane. The lucky bastards managed to grab internal employee contact info — because who *doesn’t* love their personal details being shared with random cyber‑scumbags?

Ivanti, bless their corporate hearts, is now playing the classic PR bingo: “We are aware,” “we are investigating,” “we take security seriously,” blah blah blah. Meanwhile, admins everywhere are scrambling to patch the crap out of their systems like caffeinated monkeys, hoping their management doesn’t notice that the firewall logs look like a Christmas tree.

So yeah, if you’re running Ivanti gear and haven’t patched it yet, probably best to stop reading this and fix your shit before someone else does it for you – with ransomware and a ransom note written in Comic Sans.

Reminds me of the time some genius at a former company thought “security through obscurity” was an actual strategy — until we got breached because the password to the backup server was literally “backup.” Good times. Now excuse me while I crawl back into my data center cave and scream into a log file.
