TechCrunch: CISA warns hackers are actively exploiting critical ‘Citrix Bleed 2’ security flaw…
U.S. #cybersecurity agency CISA says #hackers are actively exploiting a critical-rated security flaw in a widely used Citrix product, and has given other federal government departments just one day to patch their systems...
Critical #CitrixBleed 2 #vulnerability has been under active #exploit for weeks
A critical vulnerability allowing #hackers to bypass #multifactor #authentication in network management devices made by #Citrix has been actively #exploited for more than a month, researchers said. The finding is at odds with advisories from the vendor saying there is no evidence of in-the-wild #exploitation.

I have an old wireless doorbell button from the front of my townhome (have a new door alarm now).
It occurred to me that I could wire the 8 ID jumpers to a Raspberry Pi to scan all possible IDs, and wreak havoc with all the doorbells on the block as I walked by innocently with the dog.
But of course I'd never do that. 
We are just 4 weeks away from DEF CON 33 @defcon
As you start planning what to pack, here a few things to make sure you have for your visit to the Device Lab at the Biohacking Village.
Medical Device Manufacturers coming are already posted on our site at www.villageb.io/device-lab. Device details coming in the next couple of weeks!
As a side note, since somebody asked… 20 years ago I would’ve (and I have in multiple occasions) recommended the legendary #abo series by gera https://web.archive.org/web/20150418052653/http://community.coresecurity.com/~gera/InsecureProgramming/
