Hot Take:

Three cheers for yet another zero-day vulnerability! This time, it's courtesy of Cisco's IOS XE. But don't worry, they're on it. In fact, a patch is in the works and will be available... eventually. Meanwhile, it seems some hacker has decided to play "Create-a-User" with privileged access, just because they can. And the cherry on top? Over 41,000 Cisco devices have been compromised. Another day, another security flaw. Yawn!
