Think of us as your daily lifeboat, except with more sarcasm and fewer life jackets. Today's lineup is filled with more drama than a TV soap opera. First, IKEA's Eastern European operator took a hit with a ransomware attack costing them $23 million. Perhaps it’s time they used those Allen keys to bolt down their cybersecurity. Maybe they could "flatpack" their new IT strategies for everyone else. Over at Amazon, cybercriminals are treating EC2 instances like an all-you-can-eat data buffet. It's like they’re trying to become the Amazon Prime’s of the hacker world. Hopefully, Amazon swats these bugs faster than they deliver next-day.

Elsewhere, RansomHouse cyber-villains masquerading as heroes swiped 2TB of data from South Africa’s Cell C. They claim it’s all for a noble cause, but their ransom note says otherwise. Finally, shake-ups in e-commerce land as a founder faces fraud charges for a fantasy AI scheme. Turns out, their "intelligence" was as real as a unicorn with a knack for crypto.
