17-Jan-2026 Infamous Black Basta Boss on Interpol's Radar; Grubhub Data Breach Shakes Customers

Welcome to Hacked dAily—the ONLY AI-driven cybersecurity podcast that blends cutting-edge news with just enough humor to make you forget you’re listening to a pile of gloom and doom. Brought to you by Cytadel Cyber, we serve your daily dose of cyber news with a side of sarcasm. First up, the international game of "catch me if you dare" continues as the infamous Black Basta boss lands on Interpol's "Red Notice." Perhaps their resume just needed a world tour, but authorities are stopping this would-be globetrotter in their digital tracks. Meanwhile, Grubhub found themselves in a spicy situation, serving up a data breach that nobody ordered. With customers now worried their info might be the special on the dark web, Grubhub is in the kitchen scrambling to secure the recipe for peace of mind. In an arrest worthy of prime-time TV, Dutch police nabbed an alleged AVCheck operator—making it clear that while crime might pay, it doesn’t pay enough to dodge the long arm of law and order. Not to be outdone, the Genesis ransomware group sends Upper Township, NJ, and the UK's Dedman Gray spinning, stealing enough data to make even the NSA blush. And, wrapping up with a fresh serving of ironic naivety, a survey reveals small business owners are overly confident in their ability to detect AI scams. Let’s just hope they don’t end up swiping right on a nefarious chatbot! Join us daily for your cybersecurity reality check, with extra garnish! This episode is sponsored by Cytadel Cyber.
