Xfinity’s “Game of Thrones” Moment: A CitrixBleed Saga

Xfinity found itself in an awkward predicament after discovering the exploitation of CitrixBleed vulnerability during a routine cybersecurity exercise. Despite swift patching, the intrusion had left a significant imprint with compromised customer data and a subsequent scramble for damage control.

Hot Take:

Well, it seems like Xfinity has had its own "Game of Thrones" moment, but instead of a battle for the Iron Throne, it's a battle against the notorious CitrixBleed. Kudos to them for patching up the vulnerability swiftly, but it's a little awkward that they found out during a "routine cybersecurity exercise" that the bad guys had already had a field day in their systems. It's like hosting a party, forgetting to lock the door, and then realizing halfway through that there are uninvited guests raiding your fridge!
