Hot Take:

Ladies and gents, fasten your seatbelts because we’re on a wild ride through the latest cybersecurity pothole! Another day, another database left on the digital sidewalk like an unattended suitcase at a taxi stand. This time, it's the ride-hailing service iCabbi, inadvertently turning their 'service to the public' into a 'service for the public's data.' Oopsie-daisy! And if you're a privacy enthusiast, this might just be the 'misplaced luggage' that ruins your virtual vacation.
