Citrix in a Fix: When Cybersecurity Turns into a Comedy of Errors

Despite the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s stern warnings, the CitrixBleed vulnerability is partying like it’s 1999. With a guest list including the notorious LockBit and a venue as appealing as unpatched software, this shindig is causing quite a stir. And while a patch is available, the application seems as sluggish as a hungover party-goer.

Hot Take:

Oh Citrix, we thought you were the safe haven for remote workers, but alas! The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency is playing the strict parent, urging organizations to patch up and report any misbehavior. Meanwhile, CitrixBleed is throwing a wild party, inviting all sorts of undesirables from session hijackers to the notorious LockBit. Despite the availability of a band-aid (read: patch), the wound seems to be festering. If only cybersecurity was as simple as "patch and chill."
