Hot Take:

Well, well, well, looks like the Toronto Public Library (TPL) got a taste of the plot twist they didn't see coming! A ransomware attack had them checking out more than just books. Their systems got a 'volume' check-in, and it wasn't from the usual bookworms. And for a moment, they had a chance to be offline, like old school library days. But don't worry, no books were harmed in this cyber incident, just some services took a nap.
