Hot Take:

Oh Citrix, what have you done now? Another day, another vulnerability, this time with a severity rating of 9.8 out of 10. This code-based calamity has been exploited since August, so it's not just a bug, but a marathon runner in the hacker Olympics. And let's not even start on the patching situation. Citrix throws out a patch like a life jacket on the Titanic, but alas, it isn't enough to keep the ship from sinking. Luckily, the good folks at Mandiant are on hand with some extra advice, because let's face it, with a vulnerability this serious, we need all hands on deck.
