Who knew that at a time when everyone is trying to connect, you’d have to slam the door shut on external connections just to keep things safe? It’s like a party invitation gone wrong—only this time, the uninvited guests could run off with your data playlist. Kudos to CodeColorist and Pedro Tôrres for spotting the party crashers!
