12-Dec-2025: Coupang Data Breach Fallout and Rising Cyber Threats in a Digital Age

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the podcast that convinces you Monday mornings aren't the only things in need of better security. Join our daily journey through the digital minefield, sprinkled with just enough humor and sarcasm to keep things as sharp as a hacker’s code. Today, we explore Coupang's corporate drama as CEO Park Dae-jun exits stage left following a data breach that could rival any heist film. Interim CEO Harold Rogers inherits the thrilling task of mopping up after 34 million exposed records. Meanwhile, our kudos to the winner of the "efficiency" award goes to scammers who unleashed 40,000 e-signature phishing emails in a stunt proving cyber crime productivity is clearly up for grabs in 6000 firms – someone might want to nominate them for a TED talk. We're also diving into the shadowy world of NANOREMOTE malware. Apparently, your Google Drive isn't just for cat videos – who knew? Then we shift gears to Iroquois Memorial Hospital, where the Pear ransomware group might just win "Best Data Theft in a Supporting Role" this awards season with their 3.5 terabyte coup. Finally, in a move as subtle as one of his tweets, former President Trump signed an executive order to rein in state AI regulations. Forget the spicy tweets, he's now shaping AI—because why not add "Tech Mogul" to the resume? Tune in daily to ensure you're never left in the dark—literally and digitally.
