A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

The point is that it could have. Or maybe some unknown 0-day gets used by someone out to cause chaos instead of collect random.

On one hand I hope people are smart enough to run updates to critical systems on a test environment, first. On the other hand I've learned that that is not at all the case yesterday.

Many security products have no test option. One I’m using has a best practice of a 15 minute delay between test and prod and no automation to suspend besides relying on the vendor to pull the update it within 15 mins if it were to go full crowdstrike.
