Hot Take:

Who knew that downloading a file could lead to a healthcare headache bigger than trying to understand your bill? Ascension's "oopsie" moment reads like a modern retelling of 'Pandora's Box,' but instead of unleashing all the evils of the world, it's ransomware and a forced trip back to the Stone Age of paper records. And if the rumors are true, the Black Basta gang is out there treating the healthcare sector like their personal ATM. Stay tuned as we dig into the cyber soap opera that’s less 'Grey's Anatomy' and more 'Grey Hat Intrigue.'
