Circle I – Limbo:
The hybrid Exchange admin who “was gonna patch next week.” No screaming yet — just quiet dread.
Circle II – Lust:
For a clean SOC dashboard, for an empty incident queue. Temptation to “just trust the firewall” grows.
Circle III – Gluttony:
Endless Microsoft KB articles, half-baked hotfix notes, and “April update” readmes clog the throat. You can’t swallow them all.
Circle IV – Greed:
Management wants “zero downtime” and “immediate patching” and “full reporting.” Also: no overtime pay.
Circle V – Wrath:
The unpatched server farm that’s already beaconing to a C2 you’ve never seen before. You scream into the Exchange Management Shell.
Circle VI – Heresy:
The belief that hybrid architectures were “secure by design.” The proof burns around you.
Circle VII – Violence:
Against weekends, against sleep schedules, against human sanity. Tokens that can’t be revoked for 24 hours keep laughing.
Circle VIII – Fraud:
Vendors promising “AI-powered instant fixes” while you’re knee-deep in PowerShell and certificate hell.
Circle IX – Treachery:
The moment you realize Shadowserver’s 28,000 vulnerable count includes your org — and the CEO just found out from the news.
