Hot Take:

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the zoo... cybercriminals decided to get their paws dirty by targeting Canada's largest zoo with a ransomware attack. Luckily, the animals are unharmed and operations continue as normal. The zoo is still investigating the full extent of the attack, but for now, their website is still up and your credit card info is safe. So, you can still buy cotton candy, but you may want to skip the elephant ride until we know more.
