Leicester’s Lights Stay Lit Post-Hack: Cyberattack Causes 24/7 Streetlight Glare

Leicester’s perpetual glow post-cyberattack isn’t a sign of progress—it’s a streetlight snafu! Residents battle insomnia as the city’s “central management system” throws a 24/7 light show, courtesy of INC Ransom’s cyber shenanigans. Who needs Vegas when you’ve got Leicester’s accidental neon nights?

Hot Take:

Leicester City Council's latest performance art piece, "Bright Lights, Big City," is a dazzling spectacle of streetlights refusing to sleep post-ransomware attack. Who knew cybersecurity mishaps could lead to a 24/7 light show? Meanwhile, the council plays a high-stakes game of 'Data or Dare' with cybercriminals, proving that real-life is stranger (and brighter) than fiction.
