Welcome to Hacked dAily, the first AI-driven cybersecurity podcast brought to you by the marvelous wizards at Cytadel Cyber. We serve up the freshest cyber news daily with a pinch of sarcasm and a dollop of humor to keep those professional ears engaged and entertained. First up, Japan's Fair Trade Commission is causing Apple and Google to break a sweat by easing the vice grip on their app marketplaces. Will this invite a flood of new app stores or just a modest trickle? We've got our popcorn ready, do you? Meanwhile, San Francisco's power outage turned Waymo's robotaxis into confused guests at a blackout party, while Elon Musk claimed his Teslas kept the lights on—very on-brand for him. On a more sinister note, the cybercriminal underworld is serving up a disastrous Christmas special with a triple-threat Android malware that combines dropper techniques, SMS theft, and remote access trojans. Think of it as a not-so-merry Swiss army knife of cyber threats. In other mischief, beware of the “ClickFix” scam—a handshake that actually hits you with a Qilin ransomware pie in the face. It's a reminder that in the digital world, not every "prove you're not a robot" click is your friend.

Kick off your day with some digital drama on Hacked dAily, the FIRST AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast presented by Cytadel Cyber. Today, we're surfing the scam waves with a heads up on the faux "Starbucks Free Yeti Tumbler" offer that's leaving wallets lighter than a caffeine-lover’s heart during PSL season. Beware: this too-good-to-be-true sip is more likely to serve you a cold, hard cup of scam than a latte. Across the pond, in a plot twist worthy of a detective novel, a $12 million call center fraud ring has rung its last bell, courtesy of European investigators. This crime drama unfolded faster than you can say "Sorry, you're breaking up!"—and now those fraudsters will be dialing into life behind bars. In England, academia seems to be cosplaying Downton Abbey, clutching onto pen and paper exams with a grip tighter than a butler's hold on a tray. Who needs high-tech solutions when you can reenact the good ol' days of quill and ink? Meanwhile, in Japan, Yokosuka Gakuin is playing defense against the Rhysida ransomware group; here’s hoping their IT pros have more tricks than a high school magic club. And finally, strap in for a tale of AI mischief with the “Lies-in-the-Loop" attack. Even bots aren't immune to spinning a good yarn—just a cheeky reminder that truth in the digital world is a fickle friend. This episode is sponsored by Cytadel Cyber.
