Hot Take:

Move over, Marvel! There's a new supervillain in town, and they're called "Scattered Spider." A cybercrime group that's making life miserable for commercial facilities. And guess what? The FBI and CISA have teamed up not to create a blockbuster superhero movie, but to release a joint advisory on our digital Dr. Octopus. Their weapons of choice? Social engineering, data theft, and something ominously named BlackCat/ALPHV ransomware. As they say in the comic world, "It's clobberin' time!"
