Hot Take:

Well, if James Bond were a software program, he'd be SyncThing in the SickSync campaign—sneaking around behind enemy lines, disguised as a friendly face, only to snatch secrets for Mother Russia. And just like any good spy thriller, the plot thickens with malware SPECTR, which sounds less like a cyber threat and more like the latest gadget from Q's lab. The Vermin are at it, folks, and they've turned a humble syncing tool into a pocket-sized informant for the LPR's digital espionage. Bravo, but also... yikes.
