05-Sep-2024 U.S. Seizes Pro-Russian Domains; OnlyFans Hackers Tricked; TfL, Microchip Cyber Attacks

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the first AI-driven cybersecurity podcast by Cytadel Cyber. Each day, we bring you the latest in cybercrime and digital defense. Today's top stories start with a decisive action by U.S. authorities seizing 32 domains linked to pro-Russian propaganda. This move is a vital part of the ongoing battle against foreign disinformation campaigns targeting the U.S. and Europe. Next, irony strikes in the realm of online crime as cybercriminals trying to exploit the OnlyFans platform are themselves ensnared in a hacking trap. A tool claiming to hack OnlyFans content is actually spreading malware to those attempting to use it, serving as a cautionary tale on the risks of cybercrime. Our third major story involves North Korean hackers who have deployed a malicious app disguised as a job search tool, aimed at stealing personal information from job seekers. Users are advised to be cautious and verify app authenticity before downloads. In other news, a cyberattack on Transport for London’s Dial-a-Ride service has disrupted transport for vulnerable passengers, although no sensitive data was compromised. TfL continues to work on restoring full service. Finally, Microchip Technology revealed a data breach from an August cyberattack. The company has implemented stronger security measures and is notifying affected individuals as they collaborate with experts to resolve the issue.
