Hot Take:

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it's just another zero-day exploit flying through the gaping windows of Windows Defender SmartScreen. Microsoft’s caped cyber-defenders have finally slapped a patch on the vulnerability faster than you can say "DarkMe RAT." Meanwhile, the Water Hydra hacking group is out there playing "hide and seek" with security checks like it's a game of cyber-whack-a-mole. Buckle up, forex traders, it's gonna be a bumpy ride in the cyber-forex underworld!
