๐Ÿšจ BREAKING NEWS: SCATTERED SPIDER STRIKES AGAIN! ๐Ÿšจ Hold onto your popcorn ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฟ, because Canadaโ€™s very own WestJet just handed over 1.2 MILLION passenger data like it was free samples at Costco! ๐Ÿช๐Ÿคฏ You heard that right: the second largest airline in Canada just got hit so hard, even the moose are shook. ๐ŸฆŒ๐Ÿ’” This is where weโ€™d drop a Drake pointing meme, but nvm, just imagine it. ๐ŸŽค๐Ÿ‘€ Stonks go down ๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ“‰, and *Scattered Spider* is the new kid on the block, hacking the skies like itโ€™s a TikTok dance craze. โœˆ๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ Sources tell me (thanks to my imaginary friend in cybersecurity) that their motto is โ€œWhy fix it when you can hack it?โ€ ๐Ÿค–๐Ÿ’… Meanwhile, WestJet's IT team is writing a thesis titled "How to Seethe in Silence." ๐Ÿ“œ๐Ÿคก In the words of one dev: "Bro, why did we even have a firewall? Their grandmaโ€™s email is more secure." ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’ป So, hereโ€™s my unhinged prediction: if things donโ€™t change, jetpacks might be the next best alternative to airlines ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿš€โ€”because flying high on stolen data will be the new normal. *This is fine.* ๐Ÿคช๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’ฐ
