Hot Take:

Who knew setting up a honeytrap could be as gripping as binge-watching a hacker series? Kelly Fiocchi-Tapani, a SANS intern, spins a tale of cyber intrigue with "Winnie," the honeypot that could. In the magical land of AWS, Winnie is like the cheese in a mousetrap, luring in cyber vermin by the dozens. It's a story of hope, disillusionment, and the harsh reality of cyber threats - a real page-turner (or should I say, log-scroller) for security enthusiasts!
