Global Gadgets Gone Rogue: Cisco’s Cooky Hacker Cooking up a Cyber-Storm

The Cisco IOS XE hacker exploits are like a culinary world tour with a dash of mystery. Picture a chef, swapping spatulas for backdoors, seasoning 42,000 devices worldwide with malicious code. A two-pronged attack: fresh vulnerability CVE-2023-20273 and a side of CVE-2021-1435. A recipe for chaos, served with a side of comedic irony.

Hot Take:

Well, well, well, someone's been busy. A hacker with more time on their hands than they know what to do with has decided to go on a worldwide tour, installing backdoors on Cisco devices like they're dropping off postcards. And what's more, they've got style - instead of just exploiting a single vulnerability, they're using a two-pronged attack. It's like they're cooking up a five-star hacking dinner while the rest of us are still figuring out how to boil an egg.
