Hot Take:

Just when you thought the "spider" in your life was the one hiding in your bathroom, along comes Scattered Spider, an elusive hacking gang with more aliases than a Hollywood starlet. This crowd apparently doesn't believe in a 9 to 5 job, but rather fancies phishing, SIM swapping, and ransomware-based fun. Like a Millennial version of Ocean's Eleven, but with keyboards instead of casinos, they've got the FBI and CISA all stirred up. But hey, at least they're giving us something to talk about, right?

So your highness can have a 'premium' experience or whatever. These traitorous cookies hide in your browser, eagerly waiting to welcome you back like a guilty dog that's just chewed your favorite shoe.
