Hot Take:

Well, isn't this a classic case of "do as I say, not as I do"? Mandiant, the cybersecurity virtuoso, got a taste of their own medicine via a brute-force password attack. It's like a locksmith getting locked out of his own house. And let's not forget the cherry on top: bypassing the two-factor authentication like a hacker strolling through an open door during a security upgrade. Oh, the irony! The crypto drainer heist sounds like Ocean's Eleven, but with more code and less Brad Pitt.
