    No tenía idea que existía una vulnerabilidad que arruinaba los discos duros y era causada por una canción de Janet Jackson 🤔😱💿📺. La vulnerabilidad en cuestión es la CVE-2022-38392. https://t.co/VyIzY1wI0n

    Post summary

    The tweet casually references CVE‑2022‑38392 with a rumor about a Janet Jackson song causing hard‑drive failure, but it provides no technical detail, PoC, exploit, patch or evidence of active exploitation.
