13-Jul-2025: Phishing Scams, DoNot APT Strikes, Laravel Key Leaks, Arkana Breach, GPUHammer Hits NVIDIA

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the first AI-driven cybersecurity podcast by Cytadel Cyber, your daily dash of digital danger—with a side of sarcasm. Today, we're diving into the shady shadows where cyber threats moonlight as job recruiters. Developers have discovered a phishing campaign using too-good-to-be-true job offers as bait. Who knew employment scams would join the gig economy? Next up, the DoNot APT group is getting creative with fake diplomacy emails to attack a European ministry. Who needs real peace talks when you can Trojan-horse your way into the conversation? Meanwhile, over 600 Laravel apps have accidentally leaked their APP_KEYs on GitHub. Let's hope those keys turn out to be less of a public display and more of a cautionary tale for developers everywhere. In other news, the Arkana Ransomware Gang, whose name sounds like it was lifted from a '90s cartoon, has snatched 2.2 million customer records. Imagine if they applied their skills to something lawful—like hacking the lottery. Finally, GPUHammer is here to wreak havoc on your NVIDIA GPUs, specifically targeting AI models. Expect your self-driving car to spontaneously start doing donuts in parking lots—just another day in the wild world of cybersecurity. Join us daily for your cybersecurity fix, where the only codes we crack are riddled with humor and a touch of disbelief.This episode is sponsored by Cytadel Cyber.
