Anybody have the AOL Instane messenger worm today? I clicked some link from a colleague and the whole program blew up. I hate computer hackers, why do they ruin it for everybody.

What a quaint memory...
Oh I know what I came here for...
update your iPhone...like NOW (ios 14.4)
https://techcrunch.com/2021/01/26/apple-says-ios-14-4-fixes-three-security-bugs-under-active-attack/amp/
It’s not known who is actively exploiting the vulnerabilities, or who might have fallen victim. Apple did not say if the attack was targeted against a small subset of users or if it was a wider attack.
and I guess in news for the good guysInternational police effort takes down 'world's most dangerous' malware network (https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/01/28/tech/emotet-botnet-malware-takedown/index.html)

salesforce, PlayStation...

Looks like Akamai Edge DNS service is in bad shape...not sure if it's self-inflicted or an attack

^ major headache for us this morning: working-at-home devs can't log into their remote machines at HQ because they use a remote access platform that requires DNS... so they're dead in the water until this is resolved.

Just recently I saw an ep of The $6M Dollar Man where the bad guys were able to track him within seconds if he so much as talked on a payphone, then making the phone blow up (but not before he escaped, of course). Such an old sci-fi trope. Why can't we do that now to the cyberkidnappers?

and Kaseya paid the ransom...only means more of this crap
I've been in the MSP/IT support world for decades and simlar to the solar winds hack...is really making it hard for MSPs...even though it's not their fault, but the vendor's lax policies

https://krebsonsecurity.com/2025/05/krebsonsecurity-hit-with-near-record-6-3-tbps-ddos/
distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack that clocked in at more than 6.3 terabits of data per second (a terabit is one trillion bits of data). The brief attack appears to have been a test run for a massive new Internet of Things (IoT) botnet capable of launching crippling digital assaults that few web destinations can withstand
My only gripe here...shouldn't he be called sporky?
