Welcome to Hacked dAily, the first AI-driven cybersecurity podcast from Cytadel Cyber, where we slice and dice the latest cyber capers with a side of humor and a sprinkle of sarcasm—because, hey, if you can't laugh at questionable data security practices, what can you do? In today's episode, we dig into the antics of the Ghost ransomware group—or Cring, if you like your hackers with a side of irony—making unpatched software their playground. Remember, if it ain't broke, the hackers will break it! Then, hold onto your floppy disks, as the ghost of databases past resurfaces with some U.S. military credentials. It’s a trip down cyber-memory lane that proves even Uncle Sam might not have moved past dial-up. Microsoft steps up the game with Majorana-1, their new quantum chip, making our regular computers feel as outdated as screaming at Wi-Fi routers. Thanks, Microsoft, for pushing us closer to the future where we're still food-courting with technology. Meanwhile, Medusa demands $2 million from a UK health provider. Spoiler: digital blackmail is still cheaper than private healthcare—but not by much. Finally, explore how AI-driven ransomware attacks are now using social media to level up, because who misses the days of phishing emails? So tune in daily, and laugh along as we navigate the wild world of cybersecurity, one algorithm at a time!
