Hot Take:
**_Looks like SonicWall’s SSLVPN accounts have been caught in a bit of a pickle, or rather, a full-blown cyber-salad! With over 100 accounts compromised, it’s clear that these threat actors aren’t playing around. Maybe SonicWall’s next security update should include a side of garlic to ward off these vampires of the cyber realm!_**
