17-Jul-2025 Amazon Fights Scammers, Cloudflare's Hiccup, Europol Busts Hackers, and Google's AI Heroics

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the FIRST AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast by Cytadel Cyber, where surprising twists in the digital world meet a daily dose of humor, sarcasm, and cybersecurity brilliance. In today's lineup, Amazon is on high alert, reminding its 200 million Prime members that scammers are at the gates—seeking login details but, regrettably, not intending to buy items from our wish lists. With phishing scams at an all-time high, make sure those clicks are as rare as elusive Amazon delivery ninjas. Then, over at Cloudflare, the digital gremlins decided to make a cameo not as malicious hackers, but as the classic stumble of operational hiccups, creating a momentary blip that turned itself into a non-malevolent tech comedy. Meanwhile, Europol steps into the spotlight, dismantling the notorious pro-Russian NoName057(16) gang. Who knew that pulling the plug could silence digital chaos better than any blockbuster? In other news, AI-powered ransomware targets global infrastructure like it's Black Friday, sending policymakers and IT teams to prepare for a new kind of digital sale event. Lastly, Google's AI hero, "Big Sleep," thwarted a critical SQLite vulnerability breach, confirming that while we catch some z's, AI stays awake, ensuring our online lives resemble a typical day, not a cybersecurity horror show. Join us tomorrow for more cybersecurity antics, where even our headlines come with a side of sass.This episode is sponsored by Cytadel Cyber.
