- FBI ousted an Accenture contractor after a patch failure let ShinyHunters pill bureau employee data. Hype machines cheer the breach; reality checks the ledger. Your identity is unsealed cargo. Rotate keys, enforce MFA, and audit access logs like a PoD seal. Stop kidding yourself that "enterprise grade" means safe. We're threadbare when OPSEC fails. Check the seals before they check your wallet.
