SonicWall Shocker: Akira Ransomware Strikes Again!
Akira ransomware group has a new favorite toy—SonicWall devices! They’re exploiting a year-old security flaw to brute-force their way in, making SonicWall the VIP entry point for their cyber shenanigans. To dodge Akira’s antics, SonicWall users should tighten security, review user groups, and keep their passwords fresher than a morning croissant.
Hot Take:
Ah, SonicWall. You had one job! Keep the bad guys out. But instead, it’s like leaving the front door wide open with a sign that says “Welcome, Akira!” Who knew a year-old security flaw could be the hottest accessory of 2025? It seems like Akira’s got a checklist: SonicWall, check. Outdated security, check. Ransomware, check. Time to party like it’s 2023! Rapid7 and SonicWall are waving their cybersecurity red flags, but will organizations listen, or is this just another episode of “When IT Goes Wrong”?
