13-Nov-2024 Bluesky Booms as X Users Exit; Data Breaches Hit Georgia Firms; Amazon Faces Employee Info Leak

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the first AI-driven cybersecurity podcast by Cytadel Cyber, bringing you the latest in digital security with today's top stories. In the shifting landscape of social media, Bluesky, a platform initially conceptualized by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, has welcomed 700,000 new users in just one week. This surge follows a mass exodus from X, formerly known as Twitter, highlighting user concerns over privacy and alternative platforms gaining favor. In Georgia, two companies are now facing class action lawsuits following significant data breaches. Accused of inadequate data protection, these firms are at the center of legal actions with plaintiffs seeking damages for cybersecurity negligence. Nation-state actors are increasingly adopting tactics typical of cybercriminals, using malware to conduct espionage and disrupt infrastructure. This blending of cybercrime and state-sponsored attacks poses a complex challenge for cybersecurity experts and calls for enhanced global collaboration in defense strategies. Amazon recently faced a breach through the MOVEit transfer software, impacting personal data for numerous employees. The company has swiftly responded, but analysts caution this event could signal wider security implications for the tech sector. Finally, North Korean hackers are targeting macOS users by leveraging Google's Flutter to bypass security measures. This marks a significant escalation in their cyber offensive, urging the international community to strengthen defenses against rising threats.
