Meanwhile, in the ever-thriving digital underworld, there’s a new villain in town!

Today, we're peeling back the digital curtain to reveal Spain's .es domains turning into a cyber circus, with phishing scams operating faster than your favorite siesta-snatching tapas joint. Next, we journey into a tech drama fit for Hollywood, featuring XWorm's latest antics. This cyberglitch showcases the fluidity of its latest shape-shifting loader and stager variants. If they had a union, even Optimus Prime would have a run for his money. Meanwhile, cybersecurity's buddy cop flick comes alive as we sidestep the nefarious exploits of the RomCom RAT and TransferLoader malware gangs. These duos' shifty games of intrigue and matching infrastructure would have even James Bond building a safer router. Turning the spotlight onto Ingram Micro, who found themselves tangled in a ransomware pickle. Unfortunately, customers are in for a wait as the company plays an epic round of digital hide-and-seek with their stowaway adversaries. Finally, we ponder the ironic twist of AI becoming a cyber playground for adversarial machine learning.

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the podcast that blends the nail-biting drama of cybersecurity with a splash of sarcasm, brought to you by Cytadel Cyber. Today’s episode kicks off with a scandal fit for a thriller novel. A former DOJ ransomware negotiator is allegedly tangoing with cybercriminals instead of taking them down. It's like switching teams mid-game, and we're left wondering if all that negotiating was just practice for this unexpected career move. Meanwhile, Google has been caught with its hands deep in Android users' pockets, or rather, their pockets’ data. Fined $314 million for over-eager data collection, Google might have mistaken "user consent" for terms and conditions... that nobody reads. In yet another unsurprising twist, Telefónica has stumbled over yet another data breach. At this rate, their headaches over leaked information might rival their coffee addiction. Elsewhere, smug from impressing property moguls, Knight Knox gets a harsh wake-up call with Qilin ransomware group claiming to snatch 100GB of sensitive info. Maybe it's time for these cyber-bandits to try real estate investment over robbery? Lastly, as AI struts into critical business roles, it finds itself a hacker's shiny new target. Just like caped heroes need tactics, so do AI systems against digital delinquents. Tune in as we unravel cybersecurity with a chuckle and a nod to irony.

In today's episode, Denmark's aspiring bouncers try to copyright faces and voices, telling AI to back off like a pushy clubber in front of the velvet rope, while their Culture Minister dreams of an EU-wide "hands-off" policy.

DragonForce channels a Hollywood-esque transformation, morphing from ideological hackers to a Ransomware-as-a-Service powerhouse, offering a DIY toolkit that makes IKEA look like a one-piece puzzle. Their advanced evasion skills are a game of hide and seek, but not everyone finds it as fun—looking at you, global manufacturing. Adding to the cyber spectacle, another billing software bites the dust, as ransomware buffs hit the jackpot once more. Warning to vendors: maybe it’s time for better security over "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" Finally, Germany asks big tech to show DeepSeek AI the door, deeming it too curious.

Meanwhile, the energy sector's download-friendly ClickOnce technology has decided its security needs a career change—right to villainy!

And in a surprise jailbreak, a few REvil ransomware members found freedom early from Russian custody, but there's no joyride in their future—those confiscated BMWs aren't coming back. Finally, U.S. Senators are taking on AI with the Preventing Deep Fake Scams Act. With $12.5 billion in digital robberies last year alone, it's clear our plastic cash might be safer traded in for a round of monopoly—we'll just have to see if Mr. Moneybags' top hat can fend off hackers.
