Hot Take:

So, a couple of zero-day bugs decided to play dress-up and trick or treat as the Mirai malware. Their game plan? To turn innocent routers and network video recorders into zombie soldiers for a massive botnet army. The scary part? They're succeeding, and we're still waiting on those security patches. Take a moment to check your devices and let's hope your password isn't 'password123'. Remember, the only thing scarier than a zero-day exploit is a zero-day exploit with a default password.
