2 Minute Drill: Zero-Day Vulnerabilities Spark a Global Race Against Attackers with Drex DeFord

About This Episode

A critical vulnerability called React to Shell exposed tens of thousands of systems worldwide, triggering immediate exploitation by threat actors—including China-nexus groups—within minutes of disclosure. Drex breaks down how this flaw turns innocent web requests into remote access backdoors, why CloudFlare's emergency response accidentally caused widespread outages, and what this high-stakes race teaches us about rapid response patching in healthcare. When attackers move at internet speed, your playbook needs to be faster than your Slack discussion.
