Hot Take:

Hey, programming geeks! It appears the sneaky cybercriminals have been brushing up on their coding skills. The notorious Lazarus Group, North Korea's state-sponsored cyber unit, has switched to DLang for their new malware strains. It seems that the dark web has taken a fancy to memory-safe languages, which are ironically being promoted by Western security agencies. Talk about a plot twist! They're calling it "Operation Blacksmith," but it sounds more like "Operation Irony" to me.
