Hot Take:

So, the FBI and CISA are playing cyber superheroes again, swooping in with their latest advisory on the ALPHV Blackcat ransomware affiliates. It's like a never-ending episode of "CSI: Cyber" but instead of flashy tech and dramatic music, we've got tech jargon and advisories. While the number of compromised entities is over 1000, and more than half of those are in the good ol' US of A, there's no need to start sweating bullets. Just follow the advice given out in the advisory and maybe, just maybe, we might dodge the digital bullet this time.
