The Framers foresaw this problem and figured legislators' ambition, self-preservation, and self-respect would drive them to act against a tyrant.

I've been offline due to life changes & busy writing. This week, I'm looking at the #FunkSec Ransomware Group. It published its #FunkLocker Ransomware, mostly written using #AI-generated code, at the end of 2024. They've been tagged as the most prolific group in December, with over 80 victims.
