Lyrics

[Verse 1]
June twentieth, twenty-twenty-six, the headlines hit like static
Seventy-five thousand Fortinet boxes cracked — mathematical
FortiBleed they call it, admin passwords stripped and catalogued
Kevin Beaumont dropped the breakdown, now the whole world's horrified
Novo Nordisk got a ransom note delivered cold and clinical
Twenty-five million dollars or the pharma data's criminal
ShinyHunters came for Kodak, confirmed the breach, no ambiguity
Another healthcare firm got hit just days later — see the continuity

[Chorus]
Firewalls bleeding, passwords leaking through the seams
Ransomware gangs monetizing someone else's broken dreams
Zero-days and extortion, every sector's got exposure
June twentieth, count the casualties before the week is over

[Verse 2]
Nintendo woke up reading claims about a third-party intrusion
Issued statements saying their own systems had no contusion
Meanwhile Nottingham University's under BBC examination
Experts mapping out the vectors of the campus penetration
RoguePlanet's a zero-day Microsoft is quietly patching
SecurityWeek reported it while the vulnerability's still hatching
Healthcare twice in one week — pattern recognition's mandatory
Same playbook, different target, identical extortion story

[Chorus]
Firewalls bleeding, passwords leaking through the seams
Ransomware gangs monetizing someone else's broken dreams
Zero-days and extortion, every sector's got exposure
June twentieth, count the casualties before the week is over

[Bridge]
Pharmaceutical giants, gaming empires, universities
Kodak's image shattered by a gang that hunts with expertise
FortiBleed exposed the fortress when the credentials disintegrated
Novo's double coverage — Fierce Pharma and Reuters both narrated
The pattern isn't random, it's methodical and patient
Same extortion architecture, different corporate patients
Patch the gate before the shepherd counts the missing flock
Every unpatched system is an open padlock

[Verse 3]
ShinyHunters claimed the Kodak vault, BleepingComputer verified
Help Net Security tracked healthcare getting victimized
The hacking group pursuing Novo wanted millions wired by morning
Multiple outlets confirmed the breach and amplified the warning
Fortinet's adminspace got harvested, no credentials left intact
Seventy-five thousand devices — that's industrial-scale attack
RoguePlanet still unpatched, Microsoft racing calendar pressure
Zero-days don't wait politely while developers measure

[Chorus]
Firewalls bleeding, passwords leaking through the seams
Ransomware gangs monetizing someone else's broken dreams
Zero-days and extortion, every sector's got exposure
June twentieth, count the casualties before the week is over

[Outro]
Pharma, gaming, academia, legacy manufacturers
Ransomware operators functioning like corporate tax collectors
Patch your Fortinet appliances, audit what the vendors ship you
June twentieth taught the lesson — breaches don't distinguish who
