Hot Take:

When life gives you data breaches, make... headlines? Rite Aid's recent cyber-woes prove that while you can't always protect your data from being snatched, you can choose to not pay the ransom and become a cautionary tale. The plot twist? The culprits are a spin-off from a ransomware group that got stiffed on their own payday. Talk about drama in the underworld!
