Captain Picard walking back into the office on Monday morning, immediately requesting a damage report from his computer. Because naturally, something broke over the weekend while you weren't looking.

Either way, Monday morning means surveying the wreckage and figuring out which fire to put out first. The weekend was nice while it lasted.

Uber Hiring Security Engineers
Oh look, Uber is suddenly on a MASSIVE security hiring spree! Multiple senior security positions posted 3 days ago across different cities? Nothing suspicious about that AT ALL. It's almost like something catastrophic happened recently that made them realize "hey, maybe we should actually have people who know what they're doing protecting our systems?"

Remember folks, it's not "getting hacked" โ€“ it's just "backup powered by our volunteers" (aka random people on the dark web).
