Not sure why this is news again this week when it was already announced previously. NYTimes was also reporting this like it was news today.

      Unfortunately not all deals go through. Like Wiz + Google, or Figma + Adobe. A lot can go wrong between “in talks to acquire” and “acquired.” The official announcement is less surprising but still newsworthy.

        Um, Google did actually acquire Wiz in March.
