Hot Take:

Well, well, well, if it isn't our old friend, the Internet, facilitating yet another exciting episode of "Catfished by Cybercriminals." This time, half of UK's SMEs have been caught in the web (pun intended) of online scams, coming face-to-face with the dark underbelly of the digital universe. And guess what? The cyber-baddies are turning out to be quite the psychologists, playing on our emotions and biases to trick us into doing things that we'd otherwise scoff at. It's like a twisted episode of "Mind Games," except the prizes are financial losses and stolen data. Fun times, right?
