Hot Take:

Alright folks, grab your digital popcorn because the cyber soap opera 'As the World Hacks' just released its latest episode featuring Velvet Ant and their three-year-long digital residency in an East Asian organization's network. Classic espionage shenanigans, with a dash of 'hide-and-seek' using legacy appliances as their clubhouse. Who needs a cloak and dagger when you've got outdated F5 BIG-IP devices and some stealthy PlugX RAT action? It's like watching a cyber magician pulling data rabbits out of a high-tech hat!
