22-Jun-2025: T-Mobile Denies Breach, GodFather Trojan Hits Banks, Iran Shuts Internet

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the zesty cybersecurity podcast that doesn’t just report on hacks, it hacks the mundane out of your news feed! T-Mobile’s latest “cybersecurity not-a-drama” headlines our episode, as hackers claim a data heist from 64 million customers. Apparently, T-Mobile’s response was something along the lines of, “Fake news, try again hackers!” leaving analysts and customers alike raising an eyebrow. Next, we dive into the underbelly of Android’s virtual reality with the “GodFather” trojan—because apparently swiping your banking and crypto data is the new digital offering. Turkish banks are feeling the heat as this malware flexes its sneaky sandbox muscles. Over in Iran, the internet took an involuntary hiatus to ward off alleged threats from Israel, leaving citizens with the pressing issue of how one survives without online cat videos. Apparently, there’s no better way to chill during tensions than a reenactment of the 90s—when “disk knocks” were a thing. Elsewhere, Chaos ransomware chaotically gate-crashed Optima Tax Relief, spilling 69GB of sensitive data. Yes, chaos is more than just a catchy name. Finally, meet the AI-savvy “Yahoo Boys” running faster than you can say “scam alert”, making fools of cyber defenses everywhere. Sit back and let’s stroll down this virtual minefield, shall we? Stay curious, stay secure, and maybe, just maybe, chuckle a bit at the chaos.This episode is sponsored by Cytadel Cyber.
