Cyber Comedy: When the U.S. Government’s Tech Time-Warp Invites Hackers for a Field Day

Laugh it up, folks! The U.S government, caught in a comedy of errors, fell victim to hackers exploiting the “End-of-Life Software Vulnerability” in their outdated Adobe ColdFusion software. Picture someone pickpocketed for still using a fanny pack! Too late, CISA, our cyber watchdog, has barked – after the hacker hounds had a field day.

Hot Take:

Leave it to the U.S. government to keep using software so old, it's practically churning butter in its spare time. In a world where we can't even get our moms to stop double-clicking on everything, the feds fell victim to hackers exploiting the outdated Adobe ColdFusion software. It's like watching someone get pickpocketed because they're still using a fanny pack. CISA, the nation's cyber watchdog, has now sounded the alarm, but not before hackers had a field day snooping around.
