In a shocking twist that has left cybersecurity experts chuckling in disbelief, sophisticated Chinese hackers, tracked ominously as UAT-6382, reportedly breached U.S. government networks by exploiting a vulnerability in Trimble Cityworks. It’s rumored that the flaw was discovered during a routine game of Minesweeper and was promptly categorized under ‘Oops, We Did It Again!’ vulnerabilities.

The hackers, who supposedly managed to infiltrate the networks faster than it takes to say ‘Cobalt Strike,’ are believed to have uploaded various custom-made malware using Trimble’s little-known file-upload feature called the “Welcome Mat.” Observers suggest that this feature was enabled after a late-night coding session where developers mistook a coffee overdose for divine inspiration.

Meanwhile, Trimble Cityworks has issued a statement assuring all customers that the vulnerability has been patched via the time-tested IT solution of ‘turning it off and on again.’ The company has also introduced a new security question for all future logins: ‘What is the secret ingredient in this week’s Chinese take-out special?’
