Hot Take:

Well, it looks like the Rhysida ransomware gang decided to play the villain in the worst possible setting – a children's hospital. That's right, folks, these cyber Grinches didn't even spare the little ones from their digital pilfering. And, to make matters worse, they've slapped a Bitcoin bounty on the stolen data that could fund their own twisted version of the 'Home Alone' franchise. Time to break out the cyber-defenses and maybe a good old-fashioned typewriter, because it's back to analog for Lurie Children's!
