The seas be stormy, fer a monstrous wave of breaches hath struck, leavin’ behind a trail of over 184 million records pillaged—more than half the entire U.S. crew! Aye, this year be a veritable treasure chest of troubles.The dreaded BlackCat ransomware crew hath caused chaos, makin’ a mockery of Change Healthcare’s defenses, ensurin’ 100 million souls be left in a right mess with their claims.
