Critical Citrix Netscaler "Citrix Bleed 2" flaw actively exploited

A critical vulnerability in Citrix NetScaler devices, dubbed "Citrix Bleed 2" (CVE-2025-5777), is now being actively exploited by threat actors according to ReliaQuest, raising concerns of a repeat of the devastating 2023 "Citrix Bleed" campaign that affected major companies like Boeing and Comcast's 36 million customers.

**This is now important and URGENT. Your Citrix NetScaler ADC or Gateway, exposed on the internet, they are actively attacked and exploited. After patching, you must terminate all active ICA and PCoIP sessions since they may already be compromised by attackers.**

Ugh, here we go. People in the U.S. will get sicker more often, overall health and average life expectancy (US currently ranks 48th or so) will further decline. But because that impact will individually be subtle and compound only over years, the idiot population won’t make the connection.

Next on the chopping block: MMR vaccines. So yeah, young kids and infants are actually going to die. USA, USA.

Holy #surveillance hell, Batman.

Let me get this straight:

First, they feed your video, which is already stored in their cloud, into an #AI transformer to write descriptions.

Then they feed your descriptions into a pattern learning system (ML, maybe?) to figure out your patterns and habits.

All of this is stored in the cloud. So they not only have your video, but a narrative about your habits, ready to be exfiltrated, monetized, and shared with law enforcement.

So the UK Met Office is inviting people to suggest up to 5 names for storms. And apparently lots of people have been suggesting "Storm Bigoil", along with BP, Equinor, Exxon & Shell... This is obviously appalling & definitely not to be emulated via this link:

@Natasha_Jay I followed your advice and didn't do that, but somehow a screenshot appeared on my laptop

econads 3d ago

@johnflomax @Natasha_Jay I would try to stick to the same names because they will probably only look at the most popular ones. 50 BeePee 50 BP and 90 Alice, Alice wins. It's not as good as 100 BP 90 Alice.

Kumar Ghosh 3d ago

Agree, atleast for the first choice

MacCruiskeen 3d ago

@econads @johnflomax @Natasha_Jay it’s not like any of these names will ever actually be used. we should give them a large and creative list.

econads 3d ago

@maccruiskeen @johnflomax @Natasha_Jay no for sure, or Boaty McBoatface taught us nothing :D
But I assume the point is to make a news article about it. Top of the list being BP is more newsworthy (i.e. simpler to verify) than 1000 variations on BP. Anyway, I'm just some internet rando, do whatever you like :-)

IreneMoews 3d ago

@Natasha_Jay 👍 But at the same time, it would be advertising them as making a negative reference to them is better for them than not to mention them.

@Natasha_Jay humble contributions submitted

@Natasha_Jay
Worry that these will fall under "Any offensive names submitted will be deleted" but I filed with Saudi Aramco, Chevron, Gazprom, Putin, and ExxonMobil.

I wanted to include "Israel" but you know that's never getting through.

@xinit Yeah , Ok. Though not allowing blatant antisemitism seems to be a good thing. If you ask me. @Natasha_Jay

@DerGiga there's being against the Israel state's actions and there's anti-semitism. Maybe "Palestinian Genocide" then?

@xinit Ok. Clarification: Has Israel the right to exist?

@DerGiga
Ok. Clarification: Has Israel the right to do what it's doing?

@xinit To some degree it was defense and an expectable overreaction, that turned to a genocide at a point.
Though this was calculated in the terrorist attack.
I answered your question. Could you answer my simple question.
I may have confused you with someone you are not.

@DerGiga
I wish Israel hadn't been a place built on suffering for a whole class of people since the creation of the state. I've visited Jerusalem and the old city and enjoyed the cities and met some amazing people, but this really can't continue.

@xinit I answer later, since I have stuff to do.
But I do apologize, since I DID confuse you with someone you are not.

@xinit Thousands of years, have taught the jews, that they should never again be helpless. If there is a good reason for the existence of a state Israel would be a prime example. Though it would have been more fair if they were given the territory of Brandenburg.
It would be different if my neighbors would not have to wear basecaps on shabbat.

Der Giga 2d ago

@xinit Also, I agree that there should be a Palestinian state, but that would need Israel to exist or it would become a vassal or territory of their neighbors.
Sadly, it has become the Palestinian fate to suffer, because their suffering is a weapon that can be weilded against Isreal . This suffering is also prolonged by the inheritable refugee status.

Der Giga 2d ago

@xinit Also it would help, if the antisemitism everywhere would not pressure an exodus, that pushes people searching for affordable living space into the settlements and in extension taking land from the Palestinians.

levampyre 3d ago

@DerGiga It sure does. But it doesn't have the moral right to kill, torture, disable, starve and orphan thousands of Palestinians, to deprive them off their livelyhoods and turn their entire land into a rubble desert. Is it antisemitism to point that out, to find that inhumane?

But we were talking about storms, weren't we? So let's not derail this thread!

@xinit

@Natasha_Jay
Mine:

"Giant" is a film with James Dean and Elizabeth Taylor, and a good name for a big storm.

"Burgan" is an oil field in Kuwait. If it's worth going to war over, it's a pretty good name for a storm.

"Big Tex" is a symbol of all things Texas, a tall statue at the Texas State Fair, that burned up a few years ago, so it seems fitting.

"Ghawar" is an oil field in Saudi Arabia. Lest we forget.

"Ahvaz" is an oil field in Iran. Included to be fair and balanced in these nominations.
