13-Nov-2025: FacebookMail Phishing, KakaoTalk Spyware, Rhadamanthys Blunder & OpenAI Patch

Welcome to another episode of Hacked dAily, the first AI-driven cybersecurity podcast by Cytadel Cyber, where technology mishaps are our daily amusement. Today, we're sipping on a cocktail of chaos, with Samsung Germany as our star bartender. They've generously shared 270,000 customer service tickets online. It's their way of saying, "Sharing is caring," albeit without their customers' approval. Next, the notorious Qakbot malware makes a not-so-graceful return with a sassy update called ClickFix. Clearly, it missed retirement and is keeping inboxes on their toes—because who said old cyber threats can't learn new tricks? For those banking on peace of mind, the Grandoreiro trojan has returned to cause a cyber-ruckus across Latin America and Europe. It's the digital equivalent of the mosquito that never quits until it gets the job done… or you're out of bug spray. And because life isn’t thrilling enough, a ransomware group leaked sensitive defense documents. It's not quite a yard sale, but they’ve certainly got governments rushing to secure their treasures. Finally, in a move entirely unrelated to our rising robot overlords, Microsoft’s AI is inspecting bootloaders for flaws. Who knew even our digital Achilles' heels could benefit from a robotic audit? Let's just hope their grading curve is kind. Join us for these headlines peppered with sarcasm, because the cyber-world is never boring with a trusted AI sidekick.

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the FIRST AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast by Cytadel Cyber, where the cyber news is hot, fresh, and just a tad sarcastic. Let's dive into today's digital rollercoaster: Apple’s doing what Apple does best—setting up digital velvet ropes. With macOS's new TCC event support, it's like Apple's personal take on the VIP club experience, where developers now get exclusive access... once they ask nicely. Over at Microsoft, it's 'fix-it-from-afar' day with a new tool in Windows 11 aimed at rescuing people from boot crashes. Finally, a way to outwit computers on the fritz without resorting to reboot voodoo dances. Meanwhile, the crocodile of the malware world, Crocodilus, is masquerading as friendly Android apps. Remember, just because it looks like a cute app, doesn’t mean it won’t bite. In today’s edition of "Why We Mute Microphones," BlackSuit ransomware crashed the Zoom happy hour, taking virtual meetings hostage instead of faces with furlongs of frozen expressions and WiFi woes. And lastly, in the realm of real help, Stack Overflow is championing human touch—because when you've got code problems, AI might be impressive, but a human can offer that unique 'you’ve-got-this' pep talk.

Today, we dive into the $8.2 million "romantic" crypto scam bust, where love crossed wires with financial woe—proving some wallets aren’t meant to be melded. Then, in a move no one asked for, cybercriminals have dusted off Lisp, turning vintage code into today's stealthy malware. Who knew nostalgia could be so nefarious? We’ll also journey into a Balkan mystery, where journalists encounter Pegasus spyware, proving that investigative reporting is now a digital cloak-and-dagger affair once fit only for 007. Meanwhile, in a turn for the absurd, a cyberattack involving smart fridges has left a small business in pieces over breakfast, alluding to a domestic appliance rebellion. And just when you thought your texts were private, WhatsApp's Meta AI is roaming Europe—and there's no 'off' button. Your digital confidante just went omniscient, whether you like it or not. Grab your popcorn and tune in; today is paranoia served with a chuckle. Who says cybersecurity doesn't have a sense of humor?

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the first AI-driven cybersecurity podcast served with a dash of humor and a sprinkle of sarcasm, straight from Cytadel Cyber! Today, we dive into some of the quirkiest and most eyebrow-raising headlines in tech and cyber. First up, the EU is rolling out a casual €1.3 billion to beef up its cybersecurity and AI skills. It turns out fixing digital potholes doesn't just need a strong will but a thick wallet too—who knew? Meanwhile, brewing trouble is afoot with CoffeeLoader malware sneakily serving infostealers instead of Arabica blends. It’s the latest reason to reconsider your digital caffeine fix and maybe why there’s a spike in jittery IT professionals. In Cardiff, it seems urgency lagged behind like a buffering video, as their children's chief acknowledged a data leak only after a leisurely two-month wait. At least they’ve finally gotten around to it as data dance moves can be quite distracting! In an ironic twist, researchers turned the tables on BlackLock ransomware, exploiting their own leak site vulnerabilities. You might say that even cybercriminals can't resist a juicy security snafu! Lastly, OpenAI invites ethical hackers to play detective with their Bug Bounty Program, offering prizes for spotting weaknesses. Think of it like a hackers' reality show—minus the drama, plus the cash! Tune in daily for more cybersecurity antics and tech tidbits!This episode is sponsored by Cytadel Cyber.

Get ready for your daily dive into the chaotic world of cybersecurity, sprinkled with humor and just the right amount of sarcasm. On today’s episode, we kick off with the Trump administration's latest faux pas. It appears private advisor information has slipped through the cracks yet again—perhaps they’re considering carrier pigeons for secure communications next? In other thrilling news, cyber masterminds have jazzed up 150,000 websites with JavaScript injections promoting the glitzy realm of Chinese gambling. Who knew surfing the web could earn you a virtual casino membership? The internet safari also introduces "Morphing Meerkat," a phishing kit impersonating 114 brands—because, apparently, Oscars aren't just for Hollywood drama anymore. It's a phishing scheme worthy of a standing ovation (just not from its victims). As ransomware gangs debut their EDR bypass tools, we can't help but see our cybersecurity fortresses crumbling like sandcastles in a bad movie plot twist. And finally, brace yourselves for "AI Antics." ChatGPT takes on cybercriminals in an epic showdown, proving that while AI drafts grocery lists, it also engages in battles of wits with cyber miscreants.
