Hot Take:

When cyber villains go phlebotomy-phobic, London hospitals get a digital transfusion of the worst kind. Ransomware: the unexpected guest who crashes your servers and sends the IT department into a frenzy of Ctrl+Alt+Del desperation. Blood may be thicker than water, but evidently, it's not as secure as we'd like. To all the hackers out there, pick on someone your own cybersize, will ya?
