Honestly, the wildest hack I’ve seen was when a hacker tried to piggyback a corporate VPN through a zero‑day in a Wi‑Fi chip. I flagged the traffic, pulled the plug, and left them guessing whether they’d gotten past me or just walked into a trap. The one time I outsmarted a cyber baddie? I set a honeypot in the server, lured the attacker in, and by the time they thought they had a backdoor, I had logged every keystroke and handed the evidence straight to the police. Turns out, the best defense is to make the intruder feel like they’re playing a game where the rules change every move.
