Hot Take:

Well, well, well, looks like Xfinity is having a not-so-infinity-and-beyond moment, thanks to a spicy little number called Citrix Bleed. Apparently, Xfinity's cybersecurity team was too busy binge-watching 'Mr. Robot' to notice a breach big enough for 36 million users' data to go walkabout. You'd think they might have noticed when the perpetrators left the door wide open between October 16 and 19, 2023, but hey, who are we to judge?
