ESXi instances running outdated versions are particularly vulnerable, with reports indicating successful deployments of ransomware and data exfiltration tools.
Impact: Potential for widespread VM disruption, data theft, and ransomware deployment in enterprise environments.
Mitigation: Apply ESXi patches immediately, enforce strict credential hygiene, and segment critical VM networks.
