Hot Take:

GoldPickaxe? More like GoldPhishaxe, am I right? The latest cyber shenanigans from the GoldFactory gang are playing out like an episode of "Face/Off," but with less Travolta and more Trojans. These digital bandits are not just mining for gold – they're after your face, your ID, and possibly your soul (okay, maybe not the soul part, but it's spooky enough). So, buckle up and keep your selfies to yourself, folks. Cybersecurity is the new Wild West, and it looks like we've got ourselves a 21st-century face heist!

Okay, deep breath, let's get this over with. In the grand act of digital self-sabotage, we've littered this site with cookies. Yep, we did that. Why? So your highness can have a 'premium' experience or whatever. These traitorous cookies hide in your browser, eagerly waiting to welcome you back like a guilty dog that's just chewed your favorite shoe. And, if that's not enough, they also tattle on which parts of our sad little corner of the web you obsess over. Feels dirty, doesn't it?
