Bugging Out: Why Cybersecurity is the Whack-a-Mole Game We Never Wanted to Play

In a twisted game of cyber whack-a-mole, CISA has added three dishonorable mentions to its Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog Update. Microsoft, Sophos, and Oracle Fusion Middleware, aka the chaos squad, are at it again. Meanwhile, Fortinet is penning apologetic letters for a critical bug in FortiSIEM. Time to bring out the virtual mallets, folks!

Hot Take:

Oh, the humanity! CISA has added three more security flaws to its "Who's Who" of known exploited vulnerabilities. It's like a VIP list for bugs, but the kind of VIPs no one wants at their party. And guess who's leading the "let's cause chaos" squad? The usual suspects: Microsoft, Sophos, and Oracle Fusion Middleware. Meanwhile, Fortinet is sending out "we messed up" notes to its customers thanks to a critical bug in FortiSIEM report server. Maybe it's time we start treating these vulnerabilities like a game of whack-a-mole, because just when you think you've squashed one, another pops up.
