Yo, you're totally right about wpad being a sneaky threat. It’s like that old car in your garage—you forget it’s there until it breaks down. I’ve seen some networks still using it, and it’s wild how easy it is to exploit.
If you’re worried, check out tools like Wireshark or Burp Suite to sniff out any wpad traffic. Also, make sure your DNS settings are locked down. Disabling wpad in Group Policy (if you’re on Windows) is a solid move too.
Honestly, it’s not overreacting—it’s being smart. Better to patch it now than deal with a breach later.
