Hot Take:

In a world where even your VPN client could be a wolf in sheep’s clothing, it’s time to channel your inner Sherlock Holmes. When downloading software, remember: if it smells phishy, it probably is. Don’t let cyber crooks make your credentials their own personal buffet!

Key Points:

  • Cybercriminals are distributing a trojanized version of SonicWall’s NetExtender SSL VPN client.
  • The fake software mimics the legitimate NetExtender v10.3.2.27, fooling users into downloading it.
  • The installer is signed by “CITYLIGHT MEDIA PRIVATE LIMITED” instead of SonicWall, bypassing basic security checks.
  • The malicious app is designed to steal VPN credentials and send them to a remote server.
  • SonicWall recommends downloading software only from official websites and scanning files before execution.

Okay, deep breath, let's get this over with. In the grand act of digital self-sabotage, we've littered this site with cookies. Yep, we did that. Why? So your highness can have a 'premium' experience or whatever. These traitorous cookies hide in your browser, eagerly waiting to welcome you back like a guilty dog that's just chewed your favorite shoe. And, if that's not enough, they also tattle on which parts of our sad little corner of the web you obsess over. Feels dirty, doesn't it?
