Cylance’s Marketing Data Drama: BlackBerry Plays It Cool Amid Dark Web Claims
BlackBerry Cylance insists the data being sold on a crime forum doesn’t endanger customers but remains tight-lipped about its origin.

Hot Take:
BlackBerry’s Cylance is caught in a cybersecurity tango, assuring everyone “we’re good,” while refusing to spill the beans on where their data was stashed. It’s like claiming your cookies are safe after dropping the jar but not revealing if it landed in a sandbox or a sewer. Stay tuned for more corporate tap dancing!
