Maybe a 'How to Avoid Fines' seminar should be next on the docket? Next, we dive into Data I/O's ransomware fiasco. Imagine being locked out of your own systems—it’s like being ghosted by your own smartphone. Recovery is underway, but maybe it's time they consider a retro backup method that won't crash...like punch cards.

Hacked dAily is here to serve you a hot pot of all the cyber soup with a side of sarcasm. Imagine your face morphing app going rogue and landing you on the no-fly list! Thank NIST for stepping in with new guidelines that aim to outwit any wannabe evil twin plots. Have you ever thought your remote development environment was your secure sanctuary? Well, Microsoft's VS Code Remote-SSH might give you a rude wake-up call by letting attackers play jazz on your local machine. Next time, don’t share your VIP hacker pass. Speaking of creative crime, hackers are making breakfast a minefield with the CORNFLAKE.V3 backdoor served up via fake CAPTCHAs. Next time you're proving you're not a robot, double-check—those cyber villains might just be out-creeping the CAPTCHA. In non-breakfast-related news, someone from the Scattered Spider hacking group scored a decade in the slammer thanks to some old-school SIM swapping. At $13 million in restitution, it's no wonder they won't be laughing all the way to the digital bank! Lastly, Meta and OpenAI are bulldozing their way through the internet with AI crawlers—picture elephants in a data buffet. If your servers are groaning under the weight, maybe RSVP lessons are in order. Join us daily for more cybersecurity hijinks! This episode is sponsored by Cytadel Cyber.

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the FIRST AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast brought to you by Cytadel Cyber. Buckle up, because today, we're diving into the cyber mayhem with a side of sarcasm and some gentle humor to keep things light in the world of digital chaos. First on our virtual platter is McDonald's, not just flipping burgers but also trying to flip the script on a security breach in their staff and partner hubs. It seems like the hacker got tired of broken ice cream machines and went for a tech makeover instead. Next, we’re delving into the twisted realm of DOM-based extension clickjacking, a vulnerability even the digital Fort Knoxes — our ever-so-trusty password managers — can't outrun. If extensions were this unpredictable, maybe they're taking lessons from teenage mood swings. Moving on, an Australian telecom company redefines "limited" in data breaches by exposing 280,000 customer details. Their idea of "limited" is as expansive as a thanksgiving dinner with everything but the turkey. In amped-up espionage, Inotiv finds themselves in a ransomware limelight, forced to morph into cyber sleuths with 176GB of stolen data now held like prized trophies by the Qilin gang. Finally, AI's dual nature is causing awe and minor panic, proving yet again that giving it too much power is like letting your dog drive your car—exciting but potentially catastrophic.

Join us on Hacked dAily, the first AI-driven cybersecurity podcast created by Cytadel Cyber, where the only thing more surprising than the news is our audacious wit! Today, we delve into the tech world’s zaniest escapades, starting with Tulsi Gabbard's revelation that the UK has cooled its tea and officially dropped demands for Apple’s encrypted data backdoor. Looks like Apple’s invitations to UK crumpet parties are still pending, but hey, didn’t the Brits know Apple's security is more locked down than Fort Knox? ShinyHunters are at it again, as if we didn't see this coming. They infiltrated Workday via Salesforce with social engineering, proving even cybersecurity stalwarts can be led astray by small-talk. It's a digital Wild West out there, folks, where even con artists have upgraded from grandma to grandiose corporate stints. Meanwhile, Google's Privacy Sandbox faces a privacy hiccup with client-side deanonymization taking the limelight. Google assures us nothing’s inherently wrong, but it’s hard not to picture Neo shaking his head as privacy's secrets escape unceremoniously under a welcome mat. In other news, Singapore's "Dire Wolf" ransomware is on the prowl, stalking tech and manufacturing sectors like a tax auditor in April, while AI-powered scams charm the unassuming on social media. So, hold onto your wallets and sanity as we navigate this cyber circus together. This episode is sponsored by Cytadel Cyber.
