Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Crime Stoppers tip line, supposed to stay sealed
CBC pulled back the curtain, now the leak's revealed
Chapters pausing programs up across the nation
Trust's the currency and leaks cause devaluation
Meanwhile overseas, Tokyo's got a crisis too
A hundred twenty-five thousand badges in the data stew
Police officers' info sitting out in open air
When the shield that's meant to guard you can't guard its own welfare

[Chorus]
Secrets leaking, systems creaking, every password's a locked door
Somebody's always testing, somebody's keeping score
From the rails to the rewards card, nothing stays contained
Log it, patch it, rotate it, before the damage gains

[Verse 2]
Railway's shouting "rotate keys" to every single user
Cyberattack came crawling, made the whole house looser
Secret keys are like house keys copied one too many times
Once they're loose in strangers' hands, you gotta change the locks and climes
Save-On-Foods got hit too, More Rewards program cracked
Shoppers' points and data sitting in a stranger's backpack
Arista's waving red flags, VeloCloud's got a crack
SQL injection zero-day, attackers found the gap

[Verse 3]
Testing company stumbled, millions of Cali kids exposed
Student records drifting where nobody thought they'd go
Capcom's ID system, eleven-point-seven million strong
Breached and scattered wide, where the gamer data don't belong
Sixteen banks got targeted by AI-driven hacking schemes
A hundred thousand records spilled from automated dreams
Machines can find the cracks now faster than we patch the walls
Every system's a target, every breach a wake-up call

[Verse 4]
Phishing emails dressed as invoices, dressed as friends
Social engineering never really ends
One careless click can crack a fortress built on code
Human error paves the breach's open road
Firewalls can't stop a worker's trusting heart
Training's the patch before the hackers get a start
Every breach we counted started with a single door
Left ajar by someone who didn't know the score

[Bridge]
Rotate your keys, question every click
Breaches don't wait, the clock runs quick
From badges to game IDs, the lesson's the same
Guard your data like you'd guard your name

[Chorus]
Secrets leaking, systems creaking, every password's a locked door
Somebody's always testing, somebody's keeping score
From the rails to the rewards card, nothing stays contained
Log it, patch it, rotate it, before the damage gains

[Outro]
October twenty-third, the headlines keep on stacking
Breach after breach, the pattern isn't slacking
Stay sharp, stay patched, keep your secrets tight
That's the quiet work that keeps the data right
