Hot Take:

Forget about Santa sliding down the chimney, it's the Akira ransomware crew slipping through your network's backdoor. This holiday season, they've been less about spreading cheer and more about wiping backups faster than you can say "ho-ho-hope we have an offline copy!" Finland's NCSC-FI is like the Ghost of Christmas Present, showing us the grim future if we don't get our cybersecurity acts together. So, who's on the naughty list? Apparently, anyone with an unpatched Cisco VPN. Time to unwrap that software update you've been putting off!
