Title: "Hackers Get Access to Your Data"

Summary:

This comic strip, originally published in 2018, revolves around a conversation between a reporter and a man who claims to have been hacked. The man reveals that the hackers used an API (Application Programming Interface) to access his data, prompting the reporter to ask why everyone always says "API" when referring to hacking incidents.

Key Points:

• The man explains that the hackers exploited a vulnerability in his company's API to access sensitive data.
• The reporter is skeptical, asking why the man is so quick to blame the API.
• The man responds by saying that the API is a common entry point for hackers, making it a popular target.

Humor:

The humor in this comic strip comes from the absurdity of the situation and the man's nonchalant attitude towards the hacking incident. The use of the API as a punchline adds to the comedic effect, highlighting the common misconception that APIs are the primary cause of hacking incidents. Overall, the comic strip pokes fun at the tendency to blame APIs for hacking incidents, while also emphasizing the importance of secure coding practices.
