What actually works is speed, precision, and collaboration between competent teams who understand both the technology and the threat landscape.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For end users, however, the advice remains unchanged and cannot be repeated often enough: <\/span><b>stay paranoid<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
