Welcome to Hacked dAily, the FIRST AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast from Cytadel Cyber, where we serve your daily dose of cyber mayhem with a side of humor and sarcasm. Today's episode takes us on quite a wild ride, starting with Microsoft's new take on meeting etiquette. They’ve decided to spice up virtual meetups by giving external Teams users a special guest pass to bypass Defender protection. Because who doesn’t love a surprise malware party, right? Next, forget about mundane email attacks—hackers have evolved. They're now sending phishing invites straight to your digital calendars. Accepting one of these could be the worst RSVP mistake since saying "Sure, I’ll help you move!" And over in France, hackers hit a home goal, breaching the French Football Federation's database. They've dribbled past millions of players’ personal info right into the dark web. Lesson? A good defense isn't just for the pitch. Meanwhile, ransomware groups are all about retail therapy, auctioning off your stolen data like it's the latest fashion trend. Welcome to Cyber Black Friday, where everything’s on sale, and no one asked for it. Lastly, OpenAI joins the breach club, bringing API-induced adrenaline into the tech world. Details are scarce, but if your data is on vacation, maybe it’s time to renovate your gates with some airtight encryption. Tune in daily for your cybersecurity fix—and a chuckle at the expense of someone’s digital calamity. This episode is sponsored by Cytadel Cyber.

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the first AI-driven cybersecurity podcast brought to you by Cytadel Cyber, here to make your daily dose of cyber chaos a little more bearable. Today, we kick off with the tale of several London councils whose IT systems waved the white flag after an unexpected cyberattack. Councils are in the race against time, attempting to untangle the mess faster than you can make a cup of Earl Grey. Next, grab your popcorn! A botnet took full advantage of an AWS outage, spreading its tentacles across 28 countries like an over-caffeinated octopus. It was a heist so perfectly timed, you'd think it had inside information. Meanwhile, Qilin ransomware is on a spree - from universities to high-end silversmiths, hoarding sensitive data like Black Friday deals. They’ve turned document pilfering into an art form, proving that no data is too silver-spooned to be safe. In other shenanigans, Google's new AI tool was hacked almost immediately post-launch, as though speed dating the cybersecurity world. It's a gentle reminder that sometimes, it’s better to slow down and double-check the locks. Finally, Congress invited Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei for a little chat about a supposed Chinese espionage mission. We're all ears, hoping the government's security plan is more robust than a dial-up connection. Join us daily for more tales from the digital frontier—where humor meets hacking!

Join us as we skim through the whirlwind of cyber shenanigans to keep your cybersecurity senses tingling with just the right touch of humor (because who said tech folks can’t crack a smile?). First up, the infamous ShinyHunters have strutted into Gainsight’s Salesforce apps like it's their playground, potentially exposing data from 1,000 companies. It's like peeking into a CRM treasure chest—if only the gold was actual success strategies and not, well, compromised data. Meanwhile, cyber villains are getting way too comfortable with Matrix Push C2, launching fileless phishing attacks with clever browser notification shenanigans.

In other adventures, APT24's BadAudio malware plagues Taiwan through a mesmerizing supply chain attack. Google’s detectives deserve an applause, piecing together this sprawling cyber puzzle with Sherlock-level precision.
