"2025’s exploited vendors followed the same pattern we observed last year, with big tech experiencing the most zero-day exploitation and security vendors following directly behind.
...
#Cisco and #Fortinet remain commonly targeted networking and security vendors, while #Ivanti and #VMware continue to see exploitation that reflects the high value threat actors place on VPNs and virtualization platforms."

was playing around with vrfs on a cisco 4331. finally found a use for multiple ospf processes. who needs packet tracer when you can do this. the only reason i am using serial these modules/cables is because i got them for free. i hate the fans on this thing, they go from barely noticeable to overwhelmed server in seconds for no reason.

New from me: The Cisco SD-WAN story is bigger than just Cisco.

To me, the real lesson is trust in the management plane. If attackers can get into the systems that manage the network, the problem is no longer one device. It is the potential to influence everything behind it.

I put together a deeper breakdown on why this happened, why it matters, and how businesses can recover and harden smarter from here.
