Patch Panic: Mitel & Oracle Vulnerabilities Exploited by Cyber Miscreants!
Cybercriminals are having a field day with vulnerabilities in Mitel MiCollab, including a zero-day flaw, while Oracle WebLogic Server’s critical remote code execution vulnerability is the gift that keeps on giving—even after five years. The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency suggests you patch these flaws faster than a caffeinated squirrel.
Hot Take:
In a plot twist that surprises absolutely no one in the cybersecurity world, Mitel and Oracle are once again the favorite playgrounds for cybercriminals. It’s like these vulnerabilities are the Wi-Fi of cybercrime—free, accessible, and perfect for some miscreant mischief. Maybe it’s time for Mitel and Oracle to rethink their security strategy; after all, there are only so many times you can use the “dog ate my homework” excuse for unpatched vulnerabilities!
Key Points:
