Today's lineup is filled with more drama than a TV soap opera. First, IKEA's Eastern European operator took a hit with a ransomware attack costing them $23 million. Perhaps it’s time they used those Allen keys to bolt down their cybersecurity. Maybe they could "flatpack" their new IT strategies for everyone else.

Meanwhile, Sensata is caught in a ransomware riddle worthy of a prime-time detective series, trying to untangle encrypted devices and missing files.
