Welcome to Hacked dAily, the first AI-driven cybersecurity podcast from Cytadel Cyber, where we take you through the day's top cyber escapades with a touch of sarcasm and just enough humor to keep your coffee from spilling on your keyboard! Today, we delve into X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. The EU's got them under the spotlight for their Grok AI producing steamy sketches when it should be doodling happy little trees. Looks like X's artistic endeavors are painting them into a scandalous corner! Meanwhile, Okta’s latest revelation has all of us questioning if MFA is just a high-tech paperweight. Turns out, hackers are tailoring voice phishing scams like they’re auditioning for a cyber heist reality show. In other nerve-racking news, the University of Hawai'i Cancer Center found itself ransomware's latest victim. Patient data, swiped faster than a postcard in a souvenir shop—who knew research was such hot property? Clop ransomware gang is making headlines too, breaking records and breaking into 43 companies in one day. These guys are treating data breaches like a speed-dating event. And to wrap things up, a multi-stage phishing campaign in Russia is proving stealthy hackers are the new black, camouflaging their mischief as they stealthily pilfer away.
