Hot Take:

Well, well, well, another day, another Adobe ColdFusion vulnerability exploited. It's like hackers have a calendar reminder set for "exploit Adobe vulnerabilities day". This time, they've had a go at servers belonging to some poor federal civilian executive branch (FCEB). But here's the rub, this vulnerability was patched back in March! So, are we dealing with time-traveling hackers or just super lazy IT guys? Either way, it's a drama-filled cocktail of outdated software and uninvited guests. Cheers!
