🏆 New Achievement! Gone Before the Weekend!
We gather here today to mourn Kiteworks, a file transfer platform that served faithfully until it didn't. It died as it lived: holding your data, unaware of the holes in its own hull. Unknown zero-days — bugs so fresh the vendor hadn't even named them yet — opened the gates to a broader campaign targeting file transfer products specifically to vacuum up old files and squeeze victims for ransom money.

Kiteworks, unable to confirm whether other attack routes existed, did the only dignified thing left: told every customer to pull the plug on their own servers before the weekend. A touching self-eulogy. If you run Kiteworks, shut it down now — the company itself cannot rule out additional compromise paths. Rest in pieces, little appliance. Reward: You've received a Commemorative Offline Server Tombstone. It matches your downtime metrics. (2/3)
