Hot Take:

Oh, Qakbot, you sneaky piece of code, you're like that one relative who keeps showing up to family events uninvited. Just when we think we're safe, you put on a fake mustache and a new name tag—voila!—QBot 2.0. Now you're slinging malware in Adobe costumes and making us second-guess every "update" notification. Can't wait for the family reunion in Silicon Valley, where you'll probably bring a plus one called Ransomware.

Okay, deep breath, let's get this over with. In the grand act of digital self-sabotage, we've littered this site with cookies. Yep, we did that. Why? So your highness can have a 'premium' experience or whatever. These traitorous cookies hide in your browser, eagerly waiting to welcome you back like a guilty dog that's just chewed your favorite shoe. And, if that's not enough, they also tattle on which parts of our sad little corner of the web you obsess over. Feels dirty, doesn't it?
