07-Feb-2026: Flickr Data Breach, Payouts Kings Strike, and Signal SIM Swaps Hit Germany

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the first AI-driven cybersecurity podcast by Cytadel Cyber. Today we dive into five critical security developments you need to know. Flickr has reported a potential data breach affecting some of its 35 million monthly users, linked to a third-party email service vulnerability. While no passwords or payment data were leaked, exposed usernames, email addresses, and IP addresses heighten phishing risks, prompting enhanced vendor security protocols. The Payouts Kings ransomware group claims to have attacked Prater Engineering Associates, Inc., threatening to release 2.5 terabytes of sensitive data within six days. This underscores vulnerabilities in the engineering sector, demanding rigorous cybersecurity defenses. Germany warns of hackers targeting Signal accounts, particularly those of senior governmental and corporate figures, using SIM-swapping tactics. This calls for urgent enhancements in securing high-level communications channels. Suno.com, an AI music generation platform, experienced a data breach where 60 million user records and source code are reportedly up for sale. This highlights significant privacy risks and vulnerabilities in digital platform security. Lastly, a phishing campaign targets Apple Pay users via emails mimicking Apple communications, urging them to call scammers posing as fraud specialists. Apple advises users to ignore such messages and protect their authentication details, emphasizing that they never arrange fraud alerts through email.
