Breaching Compassion: Big Issue’s Data Nightmare Strikes Heart of Social Enterprise

Struck by cyber goons, The Big Issue faces a ransomware ruckus—with CEO’s driving license and workers’ passports paraded by the pesky Qilin gang. It’s a digital low blow to a high-minded enterprise.

Hot Take:

Well, if Robin Hood had a twisted, evil twin who stole from the poor to give to... well, themselves, then the Qilin ransomware gang's latest shenanigan is pretty much on point. Attacking The Big Issue, a street newspaper that helps the homeless, is like pickpocketing Santa—wrong on so many levels. Also, is it just me, or does "550 GB of stolen data" sound like someone's been downloading way too much bad karma?
