Lawyers in the UK have found themselves in a cyber nightmare as a recent “service outage” leaves their IT infrastructure in ruins. Critical Technology Solutions (CTS), the heroes responsible for keeping the legal sector running smoothly, has fallen victim to a cybersecurity incident.

Lapse, the once-popular photo-sharing platform, is experiencing a downfall that’s sadder than a trombone solo.

Arroyo Bros’ Bootstraps Turn into Jetpacks!

The Terrific Tale of Your Typical Tech Titans: Once upon a more caffeinated, less nap-filled time, two bound-by-blood brothers, Roberto and Nicolas Arroyo had a flash (or maybe a prolonged throb?) of genius idea. And this wasn’t your ordinary, ‘I-wonder-if-flying-cars-will-ever-be-a-thing’ type of epiphany. No, they had the crazy notion to bootstrap a company and boy, did they tie up those laces real tight.

An Odyssey of Expansion: Wait, there’s more! Not content with conquering their home ground, these brothers wanted to sink their entrepreneurial teeth into the fresh meat of new markets. Chile, Guatemala, and Argentina soon became their playground, their chessboard, their – dare we say – cash cow(s)? Profits were rolling in like avocados from a toppled grocer’s display.

The Hot Take: Now here’s the kicker: Remember folks, these brothers Arroyo didn’t just bootstrap; they were laced up in profitability boots that had rockets on them! Is it safe? Probably not. Is it effective? Heck yeah, it is! We guess when guacamole is life, you really can smash avocados into a successful business model.
