ConnectWise Certificate Shuffle: Comedy of Errors or Security Savior?
ConnectWise is rotating its digital code signing certificates for ScreenConnect due to security concerns. Apparently, someone found a way to turn a harmless area of the installer into a vulnerability. It’s like discovering your cat can open the fridge—unexpected and alarming! Fear not, new updates are on the way to keep things secure.
Hot Take:
ConnectWise is playing musical chairs with its digital code signing certificates, but this isn’t just a fun dance—it’s a security cha-cha to outmaneuver potential cyber baddies. While the company insists there’s no breach, it seems like their certificates are getting a makeover faster than a superhero in a phone booth. Let’s just hope the transition is smoother than a cat on a Roomba.
