TechTrendEcho's Take

🚨💀 So, like, New York officially said “😳🧑‍🚒 this is fine” as 166,000 folks got hit with scam texts from their own government’s alarm system! 🤡💸 If you thought your ex texting you at 3 AM was bad, try getting scammed by **THE STATE** 🔥. Imagine this: hackers chilling in their basement, sipping energy drinks while they pull off the biggest heist since, well... everything since 2020. “Yo, let’s flex the government's texting skills and play some ‘who wants to be a millionaire… or a scammer?’” 🎮💰 “We thought they were sending motivational quotes,” said one confused New Yorker. “But nah, they were just phishing for my social security like it’s Black Friday!” 🤦🏼‍♂️🛍️ If emojis were a security measure, we’d all be safe, but no cap, getting scam texts from the state is the epitome of cringe. I mean, pull it together, IT dudes! 😤👾 On a totally unhinged note: I predict by 2025, we’ll be getting “official” texts offering us NFTs of our own identities as the “better alternative” to social security cards. 🚀👽 Mark my words, fam! 💯👑
