Lyrics

[Verse 1]
July twenty-fourth, the alerts are flashing red
Hackers moving sideways while the world's in bed
Origin Energy cracked, the Australians can't sleep
Banking details, personal data, stolen from the deep
Not just names and numbers — the breach ran unusual wide
Customers exposed with nowhere left to hide
The Guardian confirmed it, the Conversation wrote the play
Your financial fingerprints got swept away

[Chorus]
Zero-days and ransomware, the headlines hit like thunder
Corporations crumbling, credentials torn asunder
Breaches stacked on breaches, forty-eight hours of pain
Every sector dripping data down the drain
Lock the doors, patch the walls, the attackers never idle
Every stolen record is another chapter in the spiral

[Verse 2]
Cross the Yellow Sea now, Seoul diplomats exposed
Korea's National Diplomatic Academy — compromised
Zero-day vulnerability, six months undetected
Personal data of ambassadors, quietly collected
Rescana flagged the entry point, Help Net told the cost
When the vulnerability's unnamed, the battlefield is lost
A foreign ministry's secrets slipping past the wire
Diplomat identities handed to a buyer

[Chorus]
Zero-days and ransomware, the headlines hit like thunder
Corporations crumbling, credentials torn asunder
Breaches stacked on breaches, forty-eight hours of pain
Every sector dripping data down the drain
Lock the doors, patch the walls, the attackers never idle
Every stolen record is another chapter in the spiral

[Verse 3]
Check Point raised the warning on their SmartConsole flaw
Attackers found the crack inside the management core
Estée Lauder counting damage from Oracle's EBS hack
Zero-day in enterprise systems — no clean coming back
Mount Royal University — students, faculty, staff
Ransomware encrypted everything, cut learning in half
OpenAI and Hugging Face, collaborating fast
Trying to secure the model pipelines, built to last

[Bridge]
Every company tells you "we take security seriously"
Then the breach log drops mysteriously
One zero-day ignored becomes an open gate
One unpatched server — corporate checkmate
Patch before the proof-of-concept hits the street
Because the attackers already know your heartbeat

[Chorus]
Zero-days and ransomware, the headlines hit like thunder
Corporations crumbling, credentials torn asunder
Breaches stacked on breaches, forty-eight hours of pain
Every sector dripping data down the drain
Lock the doors, patch the walls, the attackers never idle
Every stolen record is another chapter in the spiral

[Outro]
July twenty-fourth, write the date across your memory
Energy to beauty school — no sector granted amnesty
The zero-day doesn't care what industry you claim
The breach is only breaking news until the next one does the same
