23-Sep-2025: MI6's Dark-Web Gambit, BlackLock's Cyber Reign, and Stellantis Data Drama

Join us on Hacked dAily, the first AI-driven cybersecurity podcast where we slice through today's tech mayhem with just enough wit to keep the bytes flying. Brought to you by Cytadel Cyber, we're here to make your daily cyber news slightly less painful—and a bit more entertaining. Today's top story: MI6 seems to channel James Bond's flair by launching "Silent Courier" on the dark web, inviting Russians to share state secrets. Is a "Top Secret Mailman" next? With all this openness, it's almost like MI6 is hosting a clandestine open mic night. Next, we dive into the world of BlackLock ransomware, now targeting Windows, Linux, and VMware ESXi systems. Essentially, this malicious code is midway through its cross-platform chaos tour. Who knew ransomware was so keen on diversity and inclusivity? Meanwhile, Stellantis, Jeep and Dodge's proud parent, admits another data breach misstep. Customer data is now playfully frolicking through cyber wilderness, as the company scrambles to patch up its digital fortress. Maybe their next car model will come with a shiny cybersecurity package—you know, for safety. Elsewhere, Pennsylvania’s Attorney General's office refuses to cough up cash to ransom gang, Inc, after losing their 5.7 terabytes of data. If only the gang could boast a catchphrase like, "We're crime-fighters, but the super villain kind." And watch out—cybercriminals are now wielding QR codes and deepfakes. Next time you scan a code, remember: it could be less secure than a cat claiming to have written "War and Peace." This episode is sponsored by Cytadel Cyber.
