Lyrics

[Verse 1]
August sixteenth, the headlines arrive like a cold transmission
A hacking group emerges from the dark with a bold admission
They claim they've walked through Shell and Philips, GE on the list
Fiserv and dozens more dissolving into the mist
Reuters broke the story — Russian fingers pointing at the source
Nearly fifty companies derailed from their course
Multinational empires breached like parchment in the rain
Corporate data hemorrhaged, and nobody can contain

[Chorus]
Os dados foram roubados, o mundo está em alerta
Cinquenta empresas atingidas, a ferida está aberta
The breach is wide, the actors hide behind encrypted walls
Quando os gigantes caem — everyone falls

[Verse 2]
Uber Freight is investigating, won't confirm or deny
A hacking group made the claim and watched the rumor multiply
RingCentral users — one point six million accounts exposed
Personal information scattered, no door properly closed
The records surfaced quietly, like sediment in a stream
Security Week and BleepingComputer blew apart the dream

[Chorus]
Os dados foram roubados, o mundo está em alerta
Cinquenta empresas atingidas, a ferida está aberta
The breach is wide, the actors hide behind encrypted walls
Quando os gigantes caem — everyone falls

[Bridge]
Metabase had a zero-day, a crack inside the frame
Framework's customer data pulled before they knew the game
GeoServer holds geospatial maps, coordinates precise
Attackers found the zero-day and paid a fractioned price
Every unpatched window is a corridor through stone
Every vendor sitting still is sleeping near the bone
The pattern isn't random — there's a method to the seam
Targeting the infrastructure underneath the dream

[Verse 3]
So now the CISOs gather in their war rooms after midnight
Patch cycles accelerating under unforgiving flashlight
Zero-days don't send an invitation, they simply appear
Supply chain vulnerabilities crystallizing fear
From Rotterdam to Houston, from Amsterdam to Prague
The same threat actor fingerprints across a cyber fog
Fifty names on one invoice — corporate, vast, and deep
Segurança não descansa — security cannot sleep

[Verse 4]
The forensic teams are pulling logs from servers cold and quiet
Incident responders racing through the noise and through the riot
Attribution takes its time but pressure builds above
Boardrooms asking questions that the analysts have none of
No ransom note delivered, no demands left at the door
Just data moving silently from shore to distant shore
The silence is the statement — it's a warning and a claim
That no one in the system gets to play outside the game

[Chorus]
Os dados foram roubados, o mundo está em alerta
Cinquenta empresas atingidas, a ferida está aberta
The breach is wide, the actors hide behind encrypted walls
Quando os gigantes caem — everyone falls
