In Other News: Log4j RCE Scare, Minimus Shutdown, Iranian Hacker Sanctions

- Tuesday from hell on the security beat, and half of it smells like unsealed cargo. Log4j is back rattling cages — another RCE scare because apparently patching is optional for some of you. Stop kidding yourself: if you're still running unpatched log4j in 2025, you're not a victim, you're a volunteer. Minimus shut down, Iranian hackers got sanctioned, Manchester Airports Group took a hit, Carhartt's "breach data" turned out partly fake (shocking — threat actors lying), and U.S. Bank is batting away ransomware claims. We're threadbare on sympathy for orgs that treat logs and backups like afterthoughts. Check the seals: patch Log4j now, verify third-party data before panicking, and assume every ransomware "claim" is negotiator theater until proven otherwise. Delivery signature applied.
