Hot Take:

When life gives you packets, make... a robust cybersecurity protocol? OVHcloud just judo-flipped a whopping 840 million per second DDoS attack, and all I got was this lousy reminder to update my firmware. Seriously though, these botnets are getting juiced up on old Mikrotik routers faster than a hacker on a caffeine binge. Stay frosty, folks – it's a jungle out there in cyberspace.
