Here's a cautionary tale of how bad actors can infiltrate our lives through something innocuous - and that can spread in a terrible way.
The short summary is that a guy downloaded a piece of software from the internet to his home computer. It had a trojan horse buried in it, and that allowed someone access to any and all personal information he had stored on it - and that wound up carrying over to his logins at the Walt Disney company, where they suffered a data breach as an end result. (and of course, we all heard about that breach, but not how it came to be)
The FBI got involved, and it was a whole thing.
Its such a strange world we live in...
And it should serve as a reminder to never download anything you don't trust from the interwebs.
