The Full Story
Same story, different day, as Spikey Scorpius and Tarnished Scorpius eagerly carve through PAN-OS vulnerability CVE-2026-0257. This delightful enterprise has struck lucky UK organisations across healthcare, education, legal, and professional service sectors who apparently thought their perimeter was somewhat secure. Shielding ourselves from this routine nightmare naturally requires actually patching the wretched firewall flaw before Unit 42 writes another post-mortem. Why do we even bother buying enterprise kit if nobody ever applies the required updates?
