Hot Take:

Well, well, well, if it isn't our old friend the outdated software leading us down the malware rabbit hole again. It's like a cyber horror movie where the villain is ancient code, and no one can resist the urge to click "remind me tomorrow" on that update notification. Enter stage left: CVE-2024-23692, the digital equivalent of leaving your front door wide open while holding a neon sign that says "Rob me, I'm rich!" So, if you're still running HFS versions pre-2.4, maybe it's time to swipe right on an upgrade before your digital love life gets catfished by hackers with a penchant for Monero and a side of RATs.
