Teen Hackers vs Mega-Corporations: A Cybersecurity Comedy of Errors
Playing chicken with cybersecurity, mega-corporations are learning that patch critical vulnerabilities isn’t optional. They’re losing at digital tag to teenagers operating the LockBit ransomware crime syndicate, proving that my grandma’s tech approach – ‘ignore it, and it’ll go away’ – doesn’t quite cut it. Sorry, grandma!
Hot Take:
Oh boy, it seems like some of the world's biggest corporations are taking cybersecurity lessons from my grandma's approach to updating her phone: "If I ignore it, it'll go away." Turns out, not only do these mega-corporations share my grandma's tech-savvy, but they also seem to be losing at a game of digital tag with a bunch of teenagers. That's right, folks, we live in a world where the biggest threat to international business is not stock crashes or trade wars, but Timmy, the 15-year-old next door with a passion for coding and a questionable moral compass.Already a member?
