Hot Take:

Nothing like a cyberattack to add a little extra suspense to a football match, right? If it wasn't enough to bite nails over whether your team scores or flops, now you've got to sweat bullets over whether the stream will survive the digital onslaught. Polish broadcaster TVP just can't catch a break, with DDoS attacks turning 'watch the game' into 'game of whack-a-mole' with IP addresses. And just when you thought it was safe to go back into the online sports bar, the cyber hooligans strike again. Maybe next time, TVP should also broadcast a cybersecurity match—seems like there's plenty of action there too.
