Hot Take:

Oh, Akira, not content with just encrypting files, you've gone full Thanos on backups! Finnish companies are learning the hard way that when Akira ransomware says "I'll be back," it's not just a catchphrase but a promise to wipe every digital memory you hold dear. And for those using tape backups thinking they're in a 90s safe haven—guess what? Akira's got a mixtape eraser too. It's like the universe is telling us, 'Go offline or go home.'
