[Verse 1] August twenty-two, the digits blur across the screen A hacking wave is rolling through like nothing in between Apollo felt it first — a private equity wound Canadian hacker caught confessing, Snowflake data consumed He'd siphoned off the records, turned the silence into gold Extorted millions from the people whose secrets he'd sold [Chorus — in French] Les données volées dans l'ombre de la nuit Des brèches qui s'ouvrent, personne n'est à l'abri Apollo, Amgen, cinquante compagnies Le monde numérique tremble — qui protège nos vies? [Verse 2] Clop exploited a zero-day inside the PLM stack Product lifecycle software cracked — no warning, no way back A zero-day means nobody patched it, nobody knew The flaw was secret weaponry until the damage blew Shell, Philips, GE — fifty firms caught in the same net August isn't over and the tallies aren't complete yet [Chorus — in French] Les données volées dans l'ombre de la nuit Des brèches qui s'ouvrent, personne n'est à l'abri Apollo, Amgen, cinquante compagnies Le monde numérique tremble — qui protège nos vies? [Bridge] Here's a word worth learning — this is called *exfiltration* Not just stealing data, it's the covert exportation Quiet as a slow leak, patient as a drought Copying the contents while the owners can't find out Amgen lost their patient files and intellectual designs Proprietary medicine research — valuable bloodlines Metabase was weaponized to reach Framework's stored cache One unguarded doorway turned a small flaw to a gash [Verse 3] Financial giants circle now and audit every seam The sector's under pressure from a coordinated scheme Apollo disclosed the breach — transparency required When customer trust is leaking, silence makes it worse, not tired Cybersecurity isn't just a firewall on the wall It's watching every entry point before the systems fall [Verse 4] The regulators watching, every filing scrutinized Disclosure windows tightening — you can't leave it disguised Four days to report a breach, the SEC demands No burying the story underneath corporate plans Ransomware is organized — these groups have HR teams Project managers and coders chasing criminal dreams The economy of hacking now runs billions every year And every August headline proves the danger's always near [Chorus — in French] Les données volées dans l'ombre de la nuit Des brèches qui s'ouvrent, personne n'est à l'abri Apollo, Amgen, cinquante compagnies Le monde numérique tremble — qui protège nos vies? [Outro] Cinquante entreprises — fifty firms, one August week Zero-days and extortion, guilty pleas and data leaks Log the lesson carefully — no industry's immune The hacking wave won't rest — it'll circle back too soon
