Hot Take:

Well, it looks like Leicester City Council finally got its "I've been hacked" badge, courtesy of the INC Ransomware Academy of Prying and Pilfering. After a month of "no comment" yoga, they're now in the "Oh, comment!" position thanks to cyber crooks throwing their stolen data confetti all over the internet. I guess the council's game of digital peek-a-boo is over, and the bad guys are shouting "peekaBOO!" with about 3 terabytes of "private" party favors.
