25-Sep-2025: Co-op's £80M Hack, AWS Threat, Casino Heist & TLD Law's Ransom Drama

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the FIRST AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast brought to you by Cytadel Cyber, where every episode rings with sarcasm and a dash of humor served on a platter of cybersecurity chaos. Today we dive into the Co-op's financial thriller - their year took an unexpected turn when a "malicious" cyber-attack shaved off a not-so-modest £80 million from their profits, prompting us all to ponder, "Did the hackers get a bonus for that?!" Next, we explore a classic cat and mouse chase, where cyber bandits discovered a vulnerability in Pandoc (CVE-2025-51591) to sneak into AWS EC2 IAM credentials, leaving one to wonder if AWS's cloud might need to borrow some heavenly protection. In an Ocean’s Eleven-style heist, a casino giant saw its employee data cash out not from the blackjack table but from their digital vault, illustrating that trusting your cybersecurity might just be the real gamble. In a twist of courtroom theatrics, TLD Law finds itself starred in the latest INC Ransomware saga, with hackers broadcasting sensitive client files. Sadly, not yet on Hulu. Finally, Python developers are the latest open target for a fresh wave of phishing attacks. As these coders debug the universe, let's hope they don't entangle in the cybercriminals' deceptive PyPI packages. Stay tuned to laugh off the lunacy of cyber shenanigans, every day on Hacked dAily!
