Hot Take:

Well, folks, it looks like London Drugs just got a prescription for disaster they definitely didn't order. It's one thing to run out of aspirin, but quite another to get a $25 million ransom note stuck on your pharmacy window by cyber goons. LockBit's shopping spree at London Drugs' expense is a bitter pill to swallow, and it seems like the store's reaction is to not take their medicine lying down. Let's unpack this digital drug heist without violating any HIPAA laws, shall we?
