CINS ARMY BRIEF
Happy Limerick Day (?!)
(This is our CINS Army Brief for April 2021. Learn more and subscribe here.)
There are many silly things to celebrate this coming May: No Diet Day, International Tiara Day, Hug Your Cat Day … But our favorite by far is Limerick Day. Here’s one we wrote just for you (it’s clean, we promise):
There once was a hacker attacking
They found their security lacking
Threats of ransom ensued
Engineers came unglued
And secured themselves from the hacking
They found their security lacking
Threats of ransom ensued
Engineers came unglued
And secured themselves from the hacking
So hug your cat, wear that tiara, eat a donut, and read on to see what else you should be aware of this month.
