Hot Take:

There's nothing like a good old-fashioned cyber-attack to ruin your November! Web tracking and analytics company New Relic recently discovered that they were the latest victims of a two-pronged attack. One front was their staging systems, while the other...well, that could be you. The bad news: some customer data was viewed. The good news: no lateral movement from the staging environment to any customers' accounts or New Relic's production infrastructure. The moral of the story? Keep your passwords fresh, folks!
