Hot Take:

It seems the cyber world is like the Wild West, but instead of horses and revolvers, we’ve got hackers and ransomware. Gangs are getting bolder, ransom demands are getting personal, and it's all starting to sound like a bad Liam Neeson movie. Meanwhile, the US is playing its own version of "Among Us," trying to spot the imposters in a sea of social media bots. And just when you thought it couldn’t get weirder, a real estate tycoon wants to play hero by saving TikTok from the clutches of geopolitical drama. Oh, and if you’re using face-recognition software, maybe don’t – unless you enjoy a good wrongful arrest story.
