In a move that surprised absolutely no one, cybercriminals have reportedly begun exploiting a vulnerability in BeyondTrust products, proving once again that the internet is indeed a ‘safe place’ if you enjoy thrill-seeking without leaving your chair.

The latest exploit, which has a CVSS score of 9.9 out of 10, was supposed to be a friendly reminder that software engineers are humans too, often prone to creating digital sieves. But alas, it seems hackers misunderstood the memo, taking advantage of the flaw faster than a teenager clicking ‘accept’ on terms and conditions.

‘We were absolutely shocked,’ said no cybersecurity expert ever, as attackers targeted BeyondTrust’s Remote Support and Privileged Remote Access products. This revelation sent ripples of mild amusement through communities already battling phishing emails and ransomware demands on a Monday morning.

As the world grapples with yet another headline from the ‘We’ve Been Here Before’ series, techies worldwide ponder if ‘BeyondTrust’ may have inadvertently set up a new foundation: BeyondHope.
