Could your passport photo be two people at once?

You wake up to headlines: a dam valve in Norway opened for hours after intruders fiddled with digital controls; in Poland, a major city narrowly avoids having its water cut off by a cyberattack. No one was hurt. Water kept flowing. But the message couldn’t be clearer: the systems that keep water safe and reliable…
If you think money mules in 2025 are still hiding behind basic VPNs, think again. In the Middle East, Turkey, and Africa (the META region), mule operators have leveled up.
