Seriously? More Bullshit.

Right, so Trend Micro – yeah, that Trend Micro – is admitting they’ve got a couple of critical flaws in their Apex One on-premise security software getting actively exploited. Like, right now. Not “might be,” not “could be,” but *actively*. Two vulnerabilities, CVE-2024-3689 and CVE-2024-3690 to be precise. Basically, some clever bastards can remotely execute code on your system with admin privileges if you haven’t patched. And surprise, surprise, it involves a dodgy DLL loading thing.

They’re saying attackers are using this to install malware and steal data. Shocking. Absolutely fucking shocking that security software has vulnerabilities. Who knew? The worst part is, the fix was released in July, so if you’re still running unpatched Apex One, you deserve whatever you get. Honestly.

Trend Micro’s got some mitigation advice – update your crap immediately, disable unnecessary features (like you should have done ages ago), and monitor for suspicious activity. But let’s be real, if you needed *them* to tell you that, you’re probably already compromised.

Don’t come crying to me when your data gets ransomed. I warned you.

Speaking of DLLs, I once had to debug a system where someone accidentally replaced a core Windows DLL with a version from a shady file sharing site. The blue screens were… artistic. It took me three days and an industrial amount of caffeine to fix that mess. And you wonder why I’m so cynical?
