27-May-2025: Ransomware Turmoil Hits UK Grocers and SAP's NetWeaver Faces New Exploit

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the podcast where your daily cybersecurity headlines come with a side of sarcasm and a sprinkle of humor, brought to you by the AI-Driven wizards at Cytadel Cyber. Buckle up, because today's tales are more twisted than a VPN connection in a caffeine-fueled office. First up, UK supermarkets are ensnared in a ransomware pickle courtesy of Peter Green Chilled. Imagine finding out your chilled goods are as unreachable as a reasonable Twitter debate. With potential losses hitting them like a surprise parking ticket, even M&S is ready to splash a cool £100 million to stay afloat. Chilled food and chilling experiences indeed! Next, SilverRAT's source code casually spilled online, making IT professionals ponder if cyber hobbies are the new knitting. Now anyone, including your grandma and her cat, can dabble in digital mischief. Will it lead to a surge in cyber hobbyhood, or just headaches? Stay tuned. Chinese hackers are playing a little 'whack-a-mole' with zero-day vulnerabilities, exploiting Cityworks software to sneak into US local governments. Perhaps it's time for these systems to upgrade from ancient relics to shiny digital fortresses—Wi-Fi hiccups not included. Elsewhere, hackers are gleefully eyeing SAP’s NetWeaver flaw, turning sysadmins' lives into a caffeine-fueled update-o-rama, while Google assures us their pesky ads are 'helpful.' Just like how broccoli bits in mashed potatoes are a great surprise—we aren't convinced.This episode is sponsored by Cytadel Cyber.
