    We can feel bad for a massive corporation that has not so good environmental waste practices and is pumping people full of palm oils.

    This hack may have happened because an employee opened an email that had dirty links, attachments, etc, thus opening the door. Or it was just a straight up direct hack. They have lots of money and it will be sorted out. One could safely say that cyber security is and has been for quite some time now of utmost importance.

    Sounds like Asahi has the green bottles of the cyber security world.

    Ironically, “Asahi” is what I would scream if I found out I’d been hacked.
