Welcome to Hacked dAily, the FIRST AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast by Cytadel Cyber, where your data worries get a humorous twist. Today, Google is reaching into its $8.25 million piggy bank to say, "Oops, our bad," after allegedly tracking data from kids.

His new skill set includes both hacking and humility—he’s one to skip on the judicial Christmas card list.

Brought to you by Cytadel Cyber, we serve your daily dose of cyber news with a side of sarcasm. First up, the international game of "catch me if you dare" continues as the infamous Black Basta boss lands on Interpol's "Red Notice." Perhaps their resume just needed a world tour, but authorities are stopping this would-be globetrotter in their digital tracks. Meanwhile, Grubhub found themselves in a spicy situation, serving up a data breach that nobody ordered. With customers now worried their info might be the special on the dark web, Grubhub is in the kitchen scrambling to secure the recipe for peace of mind. In an arrest worthy of prime-time TV, Dutch police nabbed an alleged AVCheck operator—making it clear that while crime might pay, it doesn’t pay enough to dodge the long arm of law and order. Not to be outdone, the Genesis ransomware group sends Upper Township, NJ, and the UK's Dedman Gray spinning, stealing enough data to make even the NSA blush. And, wrapping up with a fresh serving of ironic naivety, a survey reveals small business owners are overly confident in their ability to detect AI scams.

Welcome to Hacked dAily, your new first stop for all things cybersecurity, served with a side of wit and a sprinkle of sarcasm! Today's lineup reads like a tech soap opera with less heartbreak but no shortage of digital drama. First, we have Amazon Web Services' little hiccup with AWS CodeBuild that left some GitHub repositories a bit too open for comfort. Someone’s innovative misstep turned into free VIP passes for cyber gremlins. Next, Anthropic's 'Claude Code' bug took an unsuspecting tour around their engineering department faster than a good office rumor. Remember, kids, ignoring bugs doesn’t make them less real! Onto the soundwaves, the 'WhisperPair' flaw in Bluetooth is certainly a tune no one needed. Turns out, your secret sing-along sessions might have a wider audience than expected—namely, a few sneaky hackers mixing their own beats. In our chaotic medley, Belgian hospital AZ Monica experienced an unexpected intermission courtesy of a ransomware attack. It seems cyber villains decided hospital IT systems were the true treasure troves, not the secrets of the universe, despite popular belief. Finally, even those plucky Aussies are feeling outsmarted by AI-generated images. Believe it when I say that catching scam images is now tougher than wrangling a croc on a Monday morning. Join us every day as we poke fun at cybersecurity's misadventures and navigate the digital realm, one headline at a time. Don't miss out! This episode is sponsored by Cytadel Cyber.

Welcome to Hacked dAily, your not-so-basic AI-driven cybersecurity podcast, brought to you by the geeks at Cytadel Cyber. Today's episode is packed with tales of heroism, mischief, and downright tech-savvy stubbornness. First up, Microsoft went all vigilante, shutting down RedVDS, where cybercriminals were living their best virtual lives until the landlord decided enough was enough. Imagine criminals using Microsoft, only to be shown the exit by the very same! Talk about biting the binary hand that feeds you. Meanwhile, over in Alaska, the Anchorage police department had to sprint for the plug after a "cyber incident" courtesy of a sneaky third-party software upgrade. Could this be a new genre for Alaska reality TV—Cyber Cops, anyone? Next, Microsoft’s AI-powered Copilot was caught snoozing at the wheel, with hackers making away with data like seasoned conjurers. Perhaps it's time for Copilot to get a little AI sidekick who can whisper, "stay in your lane." Speaking of innovation, the DeadLock Ransomware Group decided plain-old Bitcoin was so last season and dabbled in demanding ransom via Polygon smart contracts. Dripping with tech-savvy flair, or just trying to sound cooler at hacker conventions? Finally, advocacy groups are asking tech giants to de-list Grok’s X. Seems like someone finally decided that nonconsensual deepfakes aren't the new selfie—who would've thought? Stay safe, stay secure, and catch you tomorrow for another cyber-adventure!

It’s surrounded by poisoned metadata. Meanwhile, over in a shocking plot twist, a Texas data broker felt the wrath of the California Privacy Protection Agency and now owes $45,000 for selling sensitive information, proving that even in the digital realm, crime doesn’t pay—unless you're buying someone else's privacy. Also, Betterment stumbled upon a data breach that's conspiring with crypto scams. While they scramble for cover, we chuckle at the idea of investments coming with complimentary hackers, 90's pop song not optional.
