01-Sep-2025: META Banks Battle Frauds, IRIS Unveils DOPPEL, and 5G Cyber Threats Rise

Get ready to sip your coffee and dive headfirst into today’s top cyber shenanigans with Hacked dAily, the first AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast presented by Cytadel Cyber. In a twist that Danny Ocean would raise an eyebrow at, our financial fraudsters in the META region are shaking up the banking sector with a heist strategy that's every bit as crafty as it sounds. Meanwhile, the team at IRIS Command and Control must've been watching a few too many Jekyll and Hyde reruns, as they've unleashed DOPPEL, an Advanced DLL Proxying BOF, that might just keep your IT team up at night. Over in the realm of 5G, network slicing is the latest buzz—a virtual deli counter where everyone gets their cybersecurity slice of choice. But hackers aren’t exactly lacking appetite, finding opportunities hidden in the toppings of this tech delicacy. Plus, ransomware gangs are trading in their vintage tactics for sleeker API and SaaS disruptions, causing businesses to wonder if they remembered to save backup before dessert. To top things off, AI assistants like Alexa and Siri are proving they can offer more than just weather updates by inadvertently teaming up with cybercriminals to encrypt data and wreak havoc. Join us as we break down these stories with a dash of humor, a twist of sarcasm, and just enough bite to keep your systems secure (and entertained). This episode is sponsored by Cytadel Cyber.
