Hot Take:

Seems like the only thing more vulnerable than a printer at a hacker convention is the entire modern cybersecurity landscape. From law firms to semiconductors, it’s as if every sector is competing for the title of ‘Most Likely to Be Hacked.’ Maybe it’s time to replace those digital escorts with actual bodyguards?

Key Points:

  • Wiley Rein’s Microsoft 365 email accounts hacked by suspected Chinese state actors.
  • Italian police track down Romanian-led Diskstation ransomware group.
  • Microsoft uses Chinese engineers for Defense Department systems, raising espionage concerns.
  • Critical Symantec vulnerability allows remote code execution, but has been patched.
