It's ReCaptcha owned by Google, if you're using a non-Chrome browser or an ad blocker it punishes you with tedium. Probably illegal to sabotage your competition but when did that ever stop them.

Given their history of industrious villainy, it's safe to say that the answer to that will be "Yes" as long as they're in business.

To "cry wolf", raising a false alarm for attention. In the story the idiom references Peter's sheep are eventually devoured by wolves as he cries for help, which the villagers assume is yet another prank.

Time will tell if truth matches fiction.

My employer was taken out of commission by a ransomware attack for nearly a month.

About when that concluded, my fiancée contracted severe pancreatitis from a fairly routine surgery and has been fighting for her life ever since.

My doctor chalks down all the extreme dizziness and sleepless nights I've had down to stress. I have to hope she's right cause I really don't have the energy to spare for being ill right now.

So in summary, less than great so far.
