Hot Take:
Imagine being the cyber equivalent of Robin Hood, but instead of stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, you steal from the rich, then from your merry men, and then... vacation in the Bahamas with a piña colada. That's ALPHV/BlackCat for you, turning the cybercrime world into a soap opera filled with betrayal, Bitcoin, and a ‘who’s conning who?’ plot twist. And amidst this chaos, the healthcare IT sector is popping antacids like candy. Oh, and guess who's not getting their prescriptions on time? Yep, the plot, and possibly your blood pressure, thickens.Already a member? Log in here
