Hot Take:

Oh Switzerland, known for its chocolate, banks, and neutrality, has now added cyber drama to the mix! Xplain, the tech backbone for the Swiss government, got played by Play, a ransomware gang with a flair for irony. They didn’t just steal a fondue pot’s worth of data; they grabbed a whole 65,000-document-cheese-fest from the Federal buffet. I guess when you’re known for being secretive, a data leak is like dropping your secret Swiss bank account number at a hackers' convention – embarrassing and a bit of a fondue faux pas!
