Hot Take:

Oh, look! The cyber baddies are channeling their inner fashion designer with a new malware line exclusively for F5 BIG-IP appliances. Velvet Ant, because nothing screams 'stealthy infiltration' like naming your espionage group after a bug that's both fuzzy and painful. They've been runway strutting through networks for three years, and nobody noticed because they were too haute couture for detection. Bravo!
