Hot Take:

Well, it seems our cyber villains have a new fixation on cosmetic surgery. Yes, you heard right! Our digital age Dr. Frankensteins are using ransomware to target plastic surgery offices, stealing sensitive information and then pressuring businesses into paying up by threatening to spill their secrets. It's like a twisted version of Nip/Tuck meets Mr. Robot. The FBI has stepped in to play hero, advising these clinics about better cybersecurity practices. But until then, it's a real life horror show.
