08-May-2025: LockBit Hacked, SVG Trojan Gotcha, and Colonial Pipeline's Cyber Fail

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the first AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast, brought to you by Cytadel Cyber. We take on the daily cyber rollercoaster, so you don’t have to! Today, we're serving up a plate of irony with a side of chaos. First, grab your popcorn as the notorious LockBit ransomware gang hilariously finds themselves hacked, learning the hard way that leaving your cyber backdoor ajar can result in an unwanted spotlight on their sensitive data. It's a case of the hunter becoming the hunted—oh, the sweet taste of karma! Next, in a plot twist Picasso never painted, hackers have started hiding malicious code in SVG images, turning unsuspecting logos into Trojan horses. You might find a hacker's encrypted artwork more chaotic than creative, so keep your antivirus ready when admiring those digital masterpieces. In another tale of cybersecurity neglect, Colonial Pipeline's outdated defenses opened a gateway to a 2021 ransomware havoc, triggering fuel shortages and a mad dash for gas cans. A little lesson here: firewalls are just as essential as fuel reserves. Meanwhile, Gunra ransomware brings double-feature devastation with costly extortion tactics. Your wallet may feel tighter than your firewall after a $2.73 million hit per incident. Finally, a tech twist in the UK where 80% of firms face talent shortages amidst mounting AI threats. Perhaps someone should invent AI capable of teaching us to manage AI before we program a robo-team to tackle our security woes.
