21-Jun-2025: Anubis Hits Disneyland, Cloudflare vs DDoS, and AI Takes the Drudgery

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the FIRST AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast by Cytadel Cyber. Today's episode is packed more tightly than a Disneyland crowd on a holiday weekend, and it starts with a coup of Disney proportions—Anubis ransomware making its malevolent debut in Disneyland Paris. It's like a new villain has entered the kingdom, adding a sinister subplot to Mickey's world that not even Disney’s screenwriters saw coming. Next up, we take a trip to the UK where Oxford City Council finds its data more exposed than a streaker at a football match. Butter-smooth security efforts lead to an unsecured reveal of officers' personal information. Here’s a tip: try Fort Knox next time! Cruising over to tech's superhero Cloudflare, watch as they expertly deflect a titanic 7.3 Tbps DDoS attack. The online shields stayed up, proving that when it comes to cyber duels, it’s not just about speed and size, it’s about really not wanting to watch that much HD Netflix in one sitting. Speaking of innovation, Qilin Ransomware introduces a "Call Your Lawyer" feature. If it feels like a mobster movie plot twist, it’s because this new "ransomware with benefits" is making you consider legal fees too. And finally, according to Stanford, AI isn’t here for your job but is happy to clean up the annoying bits. So sit back, relax, and enjoy dodging your paperwork.
