Welcome to Hacked dAily, the AI-driven cybersecurity podcast you didn't know you needed, but now can't live without. Brought to you by Cytadel Cyber, we're derailing your daily routine with the latest shenanigans in the wild world of cybercrime—served with a side of humor and a sprinkling of sarcasm. Today, we uncover the latest from your friendly neighborhood hackers who've turned Google Cloud automation tools into a playground for phishing scams. Remember when cloud services were supposed to be 'safe and convenient'? Clearly, someone missed the memo. Next, let's pour one out for WIRED as they face the data equivalent of a wardrobe malfunction, with a hacker leaking 2.3 million records just to show off their virtuosity—it’s like stepping on a cybersecurity banana peel. Then, the mythical YETI giveaways strike again! Promising fabulous prizes for a 'small shipping fee'—spoiler alert, the only thing shipped is your cash straight into the pockets of digital conmen. CISA bids farewell to their ransomware warrior, Eric Goldstein, and we're left wondering if they've got enough security blankets without him. Finally, the FBI warns of AI-driven schemes worthy of a James Bond plot written by AI. Apparently, ghost meetings and phantom arsenals are a thing now. The moral of the story?
