Hot Take:

Cue the mad scramble to show them the door (and perhaps a lawsuit) while the rest of us are left wondering if our meme game was secretly judged by AI or lurking law enforcement. Meanwhile, in the realm of things that keep IT folks up at night, it’s a buffet of vulnerabilities with a side of infostealer campaigns and malware-laden antivirus updates—just your typical week in cybersecurity!
