Lyrics

[Verse 1]
July seventeenth, the scanners never sleep
Australian clinics got their patient data leaked
Medical records floating somewhere underground
Dark web auction block is where they might be found
The delay in telling people labeled unacceptable
The breach was old but silence made it indefensible

[Verse 2]
Zoom got a wake-up call, the zero-days keep stacking
SonicWall dropped an emergency patch without slacking
Progress Software confirmed that ShareFile had a flaw
Storage Zones went offline when the zero-day was raw
23andMe watching their breach bill climb higher still
Every lawsuit filed another line upon the bill

[Chorus]
Zero-days in July, the patches rolling out
Read the bulletin twice before you got a doubt
Breach after breach, the notifications flow
Medical data, customer records, watch the exposure grow
Log the incident, update the firmware today
The headlines keep arriving and they don't decay

[Verse 3]
London Hydro customers got their info compromised
Utility data spilling out — nobody was surprised
Synopsys under scrutiny with Bosch hack allegations
Investigated thoroughly, no evidence of violations
LegacyHive returned, a Microsoft nemesis reborn
Posted proof-of-concept, left security analysts torn

[Verse 4]
The ransomware gangs are rebranding in the dark
Same operators, different name, same bite and bark
Critical infrastructure sitting on legacy code
One unpatched controller and the whole system slowed
Incident response teams burning midnight oil again
Counting affected records, chasing who and where and when

[Bridge]
Fast Company drawing maps of where AI acceleration
Generates zero-days at automated generation
A model scanning codebases for the hairline crack
Finding exploits faster than a human analyst track
The volume amplifies, the surface area spreads
Every unpatched endpoint is a thread that slowly shreds

[Chorus]
Zero-days in July, the patches rolling out
Read the bulletin twice before you got a doubt
Breach after breach, the notifications flow
Medical data, customer records, watch the exposure grow
Log the incident, update the firmware today
The headlines keep arriving and they don't decay

[Outro]
SonicWall patched, ShareFile shuttered zones
23andMe counting settlement loans
Australian clinics silent too long on the clock
London Hydro customers rattling the lock
LegacyHive circling back with a familiar face
AI hunting vulnerabilities at inhuman pace
July seventeenth, log it, patch it, stay awake
Every headline is a lesson that you cannot fake

[Chorus]
Zero-days in July, the patches rolling out
Read the bulletin twice before you got a doubt
Breach after breach, the notifications flow
Medical data, customer records, watch the exposure grow
Log the incident, update the firmware today
The headlines keep arriving and they don't decay
