Nostalgic Hackers Resurrect Vintage Cyber Threat

In a strange turn of events, cyber miscreants are reviving the “/j_acegi_security_check” URL associated with Jenkins, much to the chagrin of cybersecurity experts. This vintage cyber threat seems to be the hot new-old trend in the hacking world.

Hot Take:

It appears some cyber no-goodniks have been feeling a little nostalgic lately, dusting off an oldie but a goodie, the "/jacegisecurity_check". This URL, associated with Jenkins, is a classic hit, much like a vintage vinyl LP on a weekend afternoon. It's seen a resurgence in popularity, and we're not sure if it's because of a throwback Thursday vibe, or if the hackers are just running out of new ideas. But hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, right? Anyway, I'm off to check if my old AOL account is still active.
