Hot Take:

Whoever said that the postman only rings twice obviously never met a cybercriminal with a zero-day exploit. In a stunning display of "one good turn deserves another," four different groups took turns exploiting the Zimbra Collaboration email software flaw, proving that sharing is caring, even in the cybercrime world. Talk about a 'mail bonding' experience. It's like a relay race, but the baton is your personal data and the finish line is... well, there isn't one. Fasten your seat belts, folks, because this patching business is about to get patchier than a badly sewn quilt.
