Hacked to Bits: Mandiant’s Twitter Mishap Exposes Perils of Crypto Drainers

Struck by the digital pickpockets, Mandiant faces a ‘tweet’ defeat as cyber crooks turn their Twitter takeover into a $900K crypto heist. Remember folks, even cybersecurity heroes need more than a strong password—2FA is the cape that saves the day! #DrainerAsAServiceDrama

Hot Take:

Well, well, Mandiant, even cybersecurity experts aren't immune to the old-fashioned oopsie-daisy of the cyber realm. You'd think Google's own would have the digital equivalent of Fort Knox, but alas, even they can get their Twitter treasure trove plundered by digital pirates. The irony is richer than the crypto haul these wallet bandits are after. A gentle reminder that in the world of cybersecurity, it's not just about having the fanciest locks, but also remembering to, you know, actually lock the doors.
