No patch yet – but you've got strong creds and MFA enabled anyway, yeah?
Heads up: ransomware slingers are exploiting a Cisco zero-day weakness in some of its VPN products. The networking giant has issued an interim workaround to address the oversight as it works on a full patch.
Essentially, it turns out there's nothing really stopping attackers from brute-forcing their way into a vulnerable device, running through all possible or likely username-password combinations. If you have multi-factor authentication configured, and are using strong login credentials, you should be fine.
As basic as that is, it doesn't appear to be deterring cybercriminals who, according to Cisco, have been attempting to exploit this vulnerability in the wild since August.
