Hot Take:

Looks like Yahoo! just got a "see me after class" note from the Japanese government. If cybersecurity were a sport, Yahoo! might be benched for dropping the digital ball... again. It's like watching your grandma trying to use Snapchat, bless their hearts. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications is handing out homework, and Yahoo! has to redo their assignment on "How to Keep Data Safe 101." Let's hope this time they don't just copy from their neighbor.
