Hot Take:

Watch out, Italy! It looks like someone's trying to turn your USB sticks into venomous cyber-serpents! This clever gang, UNC4990, has decided that 'legitimate' websites are the new cool hideouts for their nefarious tools. Who knew Ars Technica and Vimeo would be the hip joints for malware mixers? And don't even get me started on their Python-powered backdoor shenanigans – it's like they're trying to play tech support with your computer, but the only thing they're fixing is their bank balance!

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?
