Welcome to Hacked dAily, the FIRST AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast presented by Cytadel Cyber. In today's episode, we've got more twists than your average thriller novel! Our top story transports us to Russia, where Porsche owners are reluctantly earning a mechanics degree after their high-end beauties turned into garage ornaments due to a pesky satellite security glitch. Porsche is keeping things stealthy with no comments—guess they're practicing their mime act? Next, we shed light on OpenAI's denial of ads invading their paid ChatGPT plans. It seems they're going all Zen—much to the delight of users who enjoy uninterrupted conversations without promos for bizarre socks. Meanwhile, researchers shed some light on the generous side of AI coding tools. Thirty-plus vulnerabilities have set up shop, inviting data theft with open arms. If this keeps up, we're starting an ‘accidental invention’ wishlist. And in the ever-growing ransomware saga, the Qilin group extends their wicked charm to nine new victims, from Croatia's Brodosplit to the US's LA Injury Attorneys. Stick around, because just like a bad reality show, their drama knows no bounds. Finally, AI steals the spotlight again by exposing GhostPenguin—a sinister cyber threat.
