Hot Take:

Another day, another ransomware attack. This time, it's Fortune 500 firm Fidelity National Financial (FNF) on the receiving end, and boy, did they respond like a cat in a bathtub. While they're keeping hush about whether it was indeed a ransomware attack or not, their actions speak so much louder than their silence. And guess what? The party that wasn't invited? FNF's majority-owned subsidiary, F&G Annuities & Life. They somehow dodged the bullet. As for the rest of us, it's another reminder that in the tech world, no one is safe. Not even the big guns.
