Hot Take:

Looks like the phishing season just got a bad case of the cops! LabHost's little dark-web market of mischief has been netted by the boys in blue. These cyber scallywags were dishing out faux websites like they were going out of fashion, but now it’s their turn to fish for a good lawyer. Let's all wave a not-so-tearful goodbye to the phishing assembly line and its clientele of entrepreneurial students looking for a quick payday. Time to go old school with lemonade stands, kids!
