06-Jun-2024: Cyber Strikes Spike: General Dynamics, DMM Bitcoin, TikTok Under Fire

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the tech world's daily dose of digital drama and, quite frankly, the online rollercoaster ride you didn’t know you needed. Produced by Cytadel Cyber, we’re the first AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast where every byte of news comes with a side of sarcasm and a sprinkle of humor. Today's episode takes us first to South Korea where DeepSeek, a tech company more known for data privacy slip-ups than slick dramas, got caught sneaking around with user data like a busted reality show contestant. Authorities are investigating, and users are praying for a resolution swifter than their Wi-Fi woes. Meanwhile, cybercriminals have more mischief in store with 'SessionShark', a phishing kit lurking by Microsoft Office 365's login page. Because why settle for old-school thrills when you can have heart-stopping credential giveaways disguised as normal logins? Enter our cyber-villain of the day, ToyMaker, who’s not making toys but rather, enabling double extortion gangs. A classic case of innovation exploding into chaos, someone should remind ToyMaker that being a cliché doesn’t count as an innovative business strategy. Further into the cyber abyss, DragonForce and Anubis have launched ransomware affiliate programs, proving even the dark web has a recruitment agenda. And finally, as AI models fall prey to 'policy puppetry', we find out that our so-called genius machines have a few strings attached. Tune in every day for your fix of cyber shenanigans, and remember – with us, the laughs and gasps are guaranteed!This episode is sponsored by Cytadel Cyber.
