I wonder who is, or who is backing, the "advanced threat actor?"

That’s critical. Two zero-days in Cisco ASA being actively exploited is no joke — admins should patch or apply mitigations immediately.

What if it’s the government?

Likely, but WHICH government is always the question.

Cisco ASA zero-days hitting hard with a 9.9 CVSS score? That’s firewall drama you don’t want. If you’re running ASA or FTD, patch ASAP—before hackers turn your VPN into their playground. 🔥🛡️
