Hacker Heist Humor: AT&T Forks Out $370K in Crypto to Delete Data Drama
AT&T plays ‘Delete the Data’ with a hacker, forking out a comedy-worthy $370K. The catch? The cyber-thief may just be a Robin Hood in the digital Sherwood Forest.
Hot Take:
Nothing says "Here's my lunch money" quite like a telecom giant slipping hundreds of thousands to a hacker to hit the digital delete button. AT&T's cyber saga plays out like a cyberpunk thriller, complete with Bitcoin ransoms and shady characters who may or may not be wearing trench coats. But if we've learned anything from Ctrl+C, it's that data never really disappears—it just goes to live on a farm upstate.Already a member? Log in here
