14-Oct-2025: Astaroth Strikes GitHub, Microsoft 365 in Hot Water, and Invoicely's Data Slip

Buckle up for today's episode of Hacked dAily, the FIRST AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast by Cytadel Cyber, where even the hackers think about taking notes! We've got a lineup that could make your morning coffee spill out of sheer disbelief. Our headliner today is that slippery Astaroth banking trojan, which has decided to make GitHub its newest clubhouse. If only code repositories came with bouncers! Next, we delve into an unexpected plot twist starring Microsoft: who thought they'd swap bug squashing for student data squatting in their 365 Education suite? It seems like those PowerPoint transitions aren’t the only top-secret feature they’re mastering these days. Invoicely decided to join the 'oops club' by mistakenly sharing 180,000 sensitive records. That's one way to achieve transparency, though maybe not the kind they were aiming for. Meanwhile, over in educational news, North Stonington Public Schools found themselves headlining a ransomware horror show, with the INTERLOCK group claiming a three terabyte data heist. Lastly, AI's new gig as a cyber crook's best friend raises the stakes in online scams. Forget the dodgy grammar; AI's replicating voices, identities, and possibly that weird sandwich order. With issues like these, being a little paranoid becomes quite the survival skill. Tune in to get all the inside scoop, a dash of sarcasm, and remember—keep your digital umbrella handy!
