Ransomware Rumble: When ICBC Met LockBit and Global Finance Got the Hiccups!

Hot Take:

Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive! The Chinese banking giant ICBC had an unexpected guest - LockBit, possibly Russia's charming export other than vodka. Not exactly the best houseguest, it seems. And guess what? The world's financial systems felt an aftershock, much like after a spicy burrito. All this because of a vulnerability called "CitrixBleed" - sounds like the title of a bad horror movie, doesn't it?
