Welcome to Hacked dAily, the first AI-driven cybersecurity podcast by Cytadel Cyber, where we bring you the latest insights into the world of cyber threats and digital security. In today's top story, a U.S. Army soldier, Cameron John Wagenius, faces serious allegations linked to a hacking scheme involving the sale of stolen phone records, potentially including data from high-profile figures like President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. The scheme, associated with a series of breaches tied to the alias "Kiberphant0m," may involve significant incidents tied to AT&T and a U.S. defense contractor. Next, the United Nations has introduced a controversial cybercrime treaty aimed at fostering global cooperation against cyber threats. Critics warn that it might challenge human rights, depending on how member nations implement it. Ratification by 40 member nations is needed for the treaty to take effect. Our third story highlights the discovery of "DoubleClickjacking," a new exploit that bypasses existing clickjacking protections by layering multiple frames to trick users, underscoring vulnerabilities in web security protocols. In other news, Vallianz, a Singapore-based vessel operator, disclosed a ransomware attack. Although detected quickly, they assure no major business disruptions occurred. Finally, AI agents are making strides in the workforce, yet they still require human oversight, illustrating the evolving role of managers in guiding AI for optimal organizational integration.
