Hot Take:

It's a jungle out there in the cyber world, folks! Even the animals aren't safe - or at least, their caretakers aren't. Toronto Zoo, the largest zoo in Canada, recently found itself in a beastly situation, with a ransomware attack prowling around its IT infrastructure. Thankfully, no animals were harmed in the making of this cyber attack. The zoo's operations remain uninterrupted, and no credit card info is at stake. But here's the kicker, we're still in the dark about who the cyber bandits are, what they want, or how they managed to sneak past the zoo's cyber security. Stay tuned for the next episode of 'When Animals Hack'!
