08-Oct-2025: LinkedIn Sues ProAPIs, Discord Breach, and Google AI Tackles Bugs

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the first AI-driven cybersecurity podcast by Cytadel Cyber that's here to add a little spice, sarcasm, and smarts to your daily cybersecurity news digest. In today's episode, LinkedIn has taken center stage in a data drama, filing a lawsuit against ProAPIs for sweeping user data faster than a Black Friday sale. If only ProAPIs had kept their networking to a simple smile and wave, instead of big heist vibes. Over in the digital clubhouse of Discord, users regret skimming over privacy policies after a third-party breach stole more than just selfies—real names, emails, and billing details flew the coop. Note to self: "noreply@discord.com" means don’t hold your breath for help. Meanwhile, in the pet world, a pet insurance provider has turned pet owners and their fur babies into unwilling internet celebs, thanks to yet another data spill. One can only assume Whiskers’ favorite kibble is now common hacker knowledge. In other news, two teenage cyber enthusiasts in London thought they'd start their criminal journey early by holding a preschool ransomware-style. Here’s hoping they stick to Legos next time. And to cap it off, Google's AI has gone from pointing out bugs to fixing them while probably sipping a virtual coffee. It’s a good era for lazy coders—and bad news for job security. Tune in for daily episodes of Hacked dAily to get your cybersecurity fix with a twist. Who knew hacking news could be so… illuminating? This episode is sponsored by Cytadel Cyber.
