Cisco Slams the Door on Root-Level Hacker Party with SEG Update

Beware, Cisco’s SEG just dodged a cyber bullet! Critical bug CVE-2024-20401 could’ve given hackers root access with a nasty email attachment. Update or risk a crash course in “Permanent Outage 101.”

Hot Take:

Imagine getting a root canal every time you got spam mail. Well, Cisco's SEG appliances practically felt that pain until Cisco patched up a gaping security hole that let cyber-villains create superuser accounts faster than you can say "unsubscribe." Time to update, folks, before your email gateway feels more compromised than your resolutions by February.
