Who knew a data breach could be as thrilling as a spy novel, minus the gadgets and glam? Next up, developers discover their delightfully disastrous downloads in the form of "improved" WhatsApp libraries hiding data-wiping code.

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the inaugural AI-driven cybersecurity podcast brought to you by Cytadel Cyber. Today's episode promises to infuse your daily security briefing with just the right mix of humor and sarcasm, ensuring your day is peppered with professional amusement while keeping your defenses sharp. First up, meet Bumblebee, the malware who thinks it's a marketing guru, spreading Akira ransomware via SEO trickery. If marketing conferences get boring, our digital friend Bumblebee might provide some unauthorized excitement in IT circles. Meanwhile, Ingram Micro's CEO has revealed their own cybersecurity blooper: a breach granting sensitive data an impromptu holiday. Our thoughts are with their IT team, presumably dreaming of superhero life while facing this tech misadventure. Over at EMM Corp, 900GB of data took an unscheduled rollercoaster ride courtesy of Everest ransomware. When clear text passwords join this digital circus and employee snack preferences hit the spotlight, you know your organization's security drama just escalated. In the "old habits die hard" department, Akira and Lynx ransomware groups are targeting MSPs with more zeal than a toddler in a candy store, proving that in cybersecurity, vigilance is key. And finally, for those of you who find solace in NIST's cybersecurity framework, breathe easy. They're repurposing it for AI security rather than reinventing the wheel, suggesting that sometimes staying the course is, indeed, the best preventive measure against digital mayhem. Tune in, stay informed, and share a chuckle.This episode is sponsored by Cytadel Cyber.

Grab your digital armor as we navigate the seemingly endless and thrilling episodes of modern-day cyber drama. First up, we unravel the tale of ShinyHunters, the cyber-villains trying to strut their stuff by sneaking into Chanel’s Salesforce systems. But don’t worry; your quilted handbags and perfumes are safe. Chanel was joined in digital triage by fellow fashion icons Louis Vuitton and Adidas who could also use a cybersecurity chic makeover. Next, we tune into Pandora, who might need to remix their security playlist after confirming a data breach. This jewelry titan could use some cybersecurity bling to prevent any more data from spilling out – revealing secrets should be left to love songs and not databases! And speaking of unexpected plot twists, PBS found itself zapped into a real-life cyber-thriller with a data breach scandal that deserves its own primetime slot. Note to PBS: best stick to broadcasting Downton Abbey, and leave the drama off your servers. In other news, cybercriminals are going old school with quadruple extortion tactics – because if at first you don’t succeed, extort and extort again!

Brought to you by Cytadel Cyber, it's the first AI-driven cybersecurity podcast that turns the mundane into a melodrama you won't want to miss. Today, in our top tale, the Einhaus Group discovered that paying a $230,000 ransom to the Royal Ransomware gang was a fast track to business oblivion. Turns out, paying cybercriminals isn't the magic potion they hoped for—now you see your business, now you don't! Then, in a move akin to watching plastic chains defend a fortress, Cisco shone a light on AI's feeble "security fences." Spoiler: they're about as effective as wet tissue in a storm. Next up, the cunning RoKRAT shellcode is pulling off a cyber Houdini, sneaking into systems under the guise of innocent images. Perhaps returning to quill and parchment isn't such a whimsical dream after all? In glitzier news, the hacking group D4rk4rmy dazzled the posh corners of Monaco, proving that even elites need more than charm—perhaps an actual antivirus? Finally, the 2025 Threat Hunting Report reveals cybercriminals are boosting their villainy with AI. Who knew crooks would be trendsetters with generative AI, making rookie hackers look like pros?

Cyber Houdinis are wrapping those innocent-looking hyperlinks tighter than a mummy and making off with your Microsoft 365 logins faster than you can say 'unsubscribed'. ShadowSyndicate is moonlighting in international espionage, a real plot thicker than a Hollywood blockbuster.

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the FIRST AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast brought to you by Cytadel Cyber. Today we're diving into a fiery mix of espionage, intrigue, and a dash of cyber comedy, just enough to keep your firewalls and spirits up! First up, it's chips ahoy with a side of suspicion as China puts Nvidia's H20 chips under the magnifying glass, amid concerns these AI marvels come with more tracking features than a GPS-enhanced bloodhound. It’s a tech standoff with an international twist — minus the tiara but loaded with 'backdoor' glamour. Next, in a plot twist worthy of a thriller, telecom networks discovered hackers quietly squatting for 10 months with malware so sneaky, it whispered through wires, leaving companies scrambling to kick out these invisible squatters faster than you can say "Oops, wrong season!" In another tale of electronic exploits, cyber baddies are leveraging Windows shortcuts to deliver REMCOS backdoors, proving that those little desktop arrows are not just for making filing easier. Move over corporate gossip, we’ve got a new rapid-spreader! Additionally, while the Dutch Caribbean’s beaches remain idyllic, it's the servers feeling the heat as ransomware piratestied up government services tighter than a packed tourist resort. Walk the plank, digital buccaneers! And finally, sophisticated hackers have traded traditional password games for an API elegance dance. With credential stuffing evolving into a business logic tango, our digital defenses may need a few dance lessons.

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the first AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast by Cytadel Cyber, where today's cyber villains show off their latest feats of digital deception. Our top story kicks off with Scattered Spider exploiting Slack and Microsoft Teams like it's their new group project for digital deviance—a ransomware campaign that redefines "thinking outside the chat box." Given their enthusiasm, we might want to reconsider our definition of team spirit. Meanwhile, 0bj3ctivityStealer graces us with its presence, stealing passwords and possibly your will to live, all while masquerading as a busted spelling exercise. It's the kind of e-thievery that distracts you with productivity apps while rifling through your digital pockets. In other escapades, Akira Ransomware has waltzed through SonicWall VPNs via a zero-day exploit, making a mockery of the term cybersecurity fortress. It's as if SonicWall just got schooled on the dark artistry of surprise visits. Moreover, Storm-2603 is keeping busy with a DNS-controlled backdoor, proving yet again that in villainous creativity, traditional doors are out and nefarious DNS hijacking is in. It’s less "Mission Impossible" and more "Gadget Impossible!" Finally, an AI-generated npm package shows a dark side, leaving Solana wallets emptier than a ghost town during a gold rush. '@kodane/patch-manager' might sound friendly, but it managed only to give us existential code crises—wrapped in emojis.

Today's top stories have the world of cybersecurity buzzing. First up, brace yourself as the Everest Ransomware group takes Mailchimp on an unwanted expedition. It's a "relatively small breach," says Mailchimp, but we suspect Everest had grander plans for their notorious ascent. In a plot twist straight out of a prison drama, Everglades Correctional gave inmates a taste of the high life by accidentally sharing their visitors' private info. Hello, caller ID paranoia. Meanwhile, the Florida Department of Corrections is practicing the art of silent contemplation. Moving on to big plans and even bigger leaks, the SafePay gang is ready to spill 3.5 terabytes of Ingram Micro's secrets. Data dumping: the new sharing economy. Ingram Micro is gearing up as a digital dynamo against these cyber ne'er-do-wells. Not to be outdone, the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority falls to the Qilin ransomware group, proving that not even Jordanian government entities can hide from digital mischief. Finally, the hacker group skipping UX classes hits Microsoft's OAuth app users with MFA phishing. Credential stealing, without the capes, but with plenty of audacity.
