18-Feb-2025: Cybercriminals Innovate, Elon Musk's AI Warnings, and X's Signal Mishap

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the FIRST AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast by Cytadel Cyber that serves up the latest in the ever-entertaining world of digital chaos! Buckle up as we dive into today's swirling cyberstorm with a dash of wit and a sprinkle of sarcasm. For starters, cybercriminals have shown us that not even images are sacred anymore, using the onerror event in image tags to skim payment details like the digital Houdinis they are. Nothing like a shopping site saying "cheese" while clicking a snapshot of your credit card info! Meanwhile, the "Puppygirl Hacker Polycule" (yes, that's their real name) pulled back the curtain on over 8,500 police files. Proving once again, the internet's not a safe space—even for those upholding law and order. It's the Wild West out here, only with fewer cowboys and more keyboard warriors. In stranger-than-fiction irony, X (formerly Twitter) has mistaken Signal contact links for kryptonite, labelling them ‘malicious’. Perhaps this is X's way of saying "we'd rather you didn't talk securely". Elsewhere, ransomware bandits have brought Michigan's casinos and tribal health centers to a halt. Now, only cybercriminals are hitting the jackpot! And finally, Elon Musk's dystopian musings on AI-driven data breaches are inching closer to reality. According to Gartner, by 2027, 40% of breaches will have AI roots. Maybe it's time to stock up on tinfoil hats! Join us in this daily escapade of cybersecurity mayhem, only on Hacked dAily!
