with the US-based security vendor on November 11 urging customers to pull their management interfaces off the public internet or restrict them to known IP addresses.
Why would you EVER put management interfaces on the public internet? What terrible decisions led them down that path? VPN is so quick and easy at a minimum.
I feel like a large part of this is that it’s consistent and shared hate. Like going to a shitty movie with friends or being stuck at the DMV/doctors waiting room, or dealing with taxes or whatever… people can complain because they know other people in the group will share their complaints and misery loves company.
It doesn’t matter if what you’re complaining about can be easily fixed, and they don’t want to hear a better way, they just want to bitch and have people reciprocate the same misery.
