Brought to you by Cytadel Cyber, we're the FIRST AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast that keeps you informed like no other. Today, we start with an FBI operation that sounds like it was planned at a clandestine spy convention. They’ve shut down thousands of LabHost PhaaS domains that were slinging phishing attacks—because apparently, surprises are best left for actual birthday parties, not internet heists. Next up, we’ve got mystery box scams—where the thrill of the unknown frequently leads to an empty wallet. Imagine ordering a box of cool, quirky items and ending up with junk. It’s like expecting a gourmet meal and receiving an empty plate, plus a bill! As if that wasn't enough magic for one day, we've spotted the Wizards APT group showcasing SLAAC spoofing in adversary-in-the-middle attacks. They’ve swapped their Harry Potter robes for some serious coding skills. Ah, the sorcery of network manipulation! Continuing the comedy of cyber capers, Nitrogen ransomware actors are staging malvertising campaigns. With the hit movie of log erasure and DLL sideloading, chaos has never been so well-coordinated. Finally, revealing the bold antics of RAG, the AI daredevil, showing that sometimes, even AI can have a rebellious streak. Join us!

Welcome to Hacked dAily, where we slice through the chaos of cybersecurity with a dash of humor, a sprinkle of sarcasm, and a whole lot of AI-generated wisdom. Today's eclectic mix of cyber shenanigans features Apple's AirPlay in the spotlight, as Oligo Security uncovers the AirBorne vulnerability cocktail. Picture your AirPlay devices as VIP concert tickets for hackers, letting them wreak havoc while Apple's team scrambles to patch 17 security gaps faster than a techie buying the latest iPhone. Next, Google steps into the digital battleground with Agentic AI—a modern knight in algorithmic armor battling data-centric dragons. It's AI versus hacker in a cyber Whack-a-Mole game that's more thrilling than any sci-fi blockbuster (we promise). Meanwhile, in a plot twist nobody saw coming, a Maryland man outsourced U.S. government projects to a North Korean developer based in China. Talk about bridging international bureaucracies—though this creative hire earned him a potential 10-year retreat behind bars. Elsewhere, the "Spam King" (a.k.a. Phorpiex botnet) cozies up with LockBit for one epic cybercrime meetup. When cybercriminals network better than we do, you can bet security pros everywhere are pulling out their digital hair. Lastly, AI shows up as the unfazed superhero of cybersecurity, keeping threats at bay while the rest of us caffeinate. Tune in tomorrow for more cyber chaos, AI heroics, and tech tales from your trusted informants at Cytadel Cyber. Stay secure out there!This episode is sponsored by Cytadel Cyber.

Join us on today's episode of Hacked dAily as we plunge headfirst into the world of cyber antics with just the right amount of sass and sarcasm. First up, Europol embarks on its latest crusade against "Violence-as-a-Service"—because apparently, crime is now a customizable buffet experience. Fingers crossed they can squash it harder than an overachiever on a juice cleanse. Next, we witness a glitch in the matrix of data security as a quartet of organizations—Endue Software, Whitman County Public Hospital District No. 3, Palo Verde Hospital, and Northern California Children’s Therapy Center—perform a synchronized reveal of data breaches. Offering complimentary credit monitoring, they're hoping to rebuild trust faster than a sandcastle before high tide. Meanwhile, Verisource Services soars to new dizzying heights in data breach victim counts, now affecting four million people. A 14-month investigation reveals this is one saga even CSI couldn't cram into a neat 45 minutes. Elsewhere, ABB gets pinched by Black Basta ransomware, proving that even industry giants can find themselves stumped by today's cyber hoodlums. And if that wasn't enough, Google DeepMind steps into a sci-fi suspense flick with CaMeL, to guard AI models as they'd guard a mischievous teenager left home alone.

Welcome to Hacked dAily, where cybersecurity takes center stage with a twist of humor, courtesy of Cytadel Cyber. Tune in to the FIRST AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast for your daily dose of digital drama. In today's lineup, we have a cybersecurity CEO who took 'networking' a bit too literally by boasting about deploying malware in a hospital. LinkedIn might not have a 'humble brag gone wrong' feature yet, but he's in desperate need of a security upgrade—for his career. Next, WorkComposer decided to share more than just work performance with an accidental gallery release of 21 million unprotected images. Now employees are scrambling to hit "password reset" like it’s the snooze button on a Monday morning. Meanwhile in Europe, SIM farms—no, not a cousin of Farmville—are getting the boot. This could be the beginning of the end for our inboxes crowded with spam. Scammers might soon have to resort to their backup plan: digital carrier pigeons. On a serious note, Frederick Health Medical Group faced a cyber nightmare with 900,000 patients' data compromised. The legal wave is gathering momentum faster than resetting a forgotten password. Rounding off, Swiss scientists are experimenting on Reddit, wielding AI to shake things up. Remember, next time you read a post, it might not just be caffeine-induced rambling but bona fide AI wizardry.

Today's episode covers a blend of eyebrow-raising exploits and cutting-edge shenanigans designed to keep you both informed and entertained. First up, Samsung Galaxy users learned the hard way that their devices might've been sharing secrets like they're the latest TikTok trends. Samsung's metaphorical door is now closed, but maybe think twice about where you store those juicy secrets. Then, in an attempt to brighten your day (or your security protocol), we unravel the tale of cybercriminals using GIFs—not just cute cats—for a card-skimming caper that's more complex than untangling holiday lights. Keep an eye on those memes, folks! We also dive into Microsoft's showdown with Storm-1977, the hacker equivalent of a Mozart-turned-cyber-villain, using password spray attacks on academia. If you're in the education sector, consider this your cue to tune your defenses. Plus, the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality's battle with a ransomware group has more mystery than a soap opera; they've left us all guessing who's actually got the cookie jar. And finally, AI voice scams in Kuwait raise the stakes on jilted trust. Your mom's voice could ask for money, or it might just be her digital clone—cue the plot twist.

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the FIRST AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast brought to you by Cytadel Cyber. Strap in for today’s rollercoaster through the digital wild west where we dive headfirst into tales crazier than fiction. First up, Veritaco's CEO Jeffrey Bowie decided to rewrite the 'how-to' on corporate ethics by personally installing malware at St. Anthony Hospital. Because, who better to demonstrate your digital defenses than the captain himself sowing chaos? Insurance dodgers, take notes. Next, Yale New Haven Health thought throwing patient data a sky-high farewell party was a good idea, inadvertently sharing it with 5.5 million unintended “guests.” Meanwhile, folks quirk an eyebrow wondering if their vitals are circulating the hacker sphere with a side of fries. Speaking of specters, the Cloudflare tunnel infrastructure channels a stage-worthy infection chain. It’s like digital stealth, but with fewer capes and more sneaky bunnies—curious troops await. Channeling your inner philosopher? VerdaCrypt’s here for all the existential dread your files didn’t ask for. PowerShell poetry now haunts your hard drive alongside the usual existential what-nots. And finally, TikTok stars parading as doctors offer cures cooked up in their shed’s flavor of insanity. When Dr. Deepfake prescribes fruit salads over flu shots, it’s time to reconsider your subscription. Tune in, subscribe, and let's keep those data breaches in fiction novels where they belong!This episode is sponsored by Cytadel Cyber.

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the tech world's daily dose of digital drama and, quite frankly, the online rollercoaster ride you didn’t know you needed. Produced by Cytadel Cyber, we’re the first AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast where every byte of news comes with a side of sarcasm and a sprinkle of humor. Today's episode takes us first to South Korea where DeepSeek, a tech company more known for data privacy slip-ups than slick dramas, got caught sneaking around with user data like a busted reality show contestant. Authorities are investigating, and users are praying for a resolution swifter than their Wi-Fi woes. Meanwhile, cybercriminals have more mischief in store with 'SessionShark', a phishing kit lurking by Microsoft Office 365's login page. Because why settle for old-school thrills when you can have heart-stopping credential giveaways disguised as normal logins? Enter our cyber-villain of the day, ToyMaker, who’s not making toys but rather, enabling double extortion gangs. A classic case of innovation exploding into chaos, someone should remind ToyMaker that being a cliché doesn’t count as an innovative business strategy. Further into the cyber abyss, DragonForce and Anubis have launched ransomware affiliate programs, proving even the dark web has a recruitment agenda. And finally, as AI models fall prey to 'policy puppetry', we find out that our so-called genius machines have a few strings attached. Tune in every day for your fix of cyber shenanigans, and remember – with us, the laughs and gasps are guaranteed!This episode is sponsored by Cytadel Cyber.

Healthcare's on the "zero trust" bandwagon—imagine if your food diet was as individualized as this evolving security; no more stale bread in sight! Oh, and if you thought emergencies were a priority, think again! Medusa ransomware has struck Bell Ambulance, affecting 114,000 individuals. Hopefully, Medusa will learn to petrify herself and give our nerves a break. Finally, in tales from the cyberwild, AI-driven polymorphic phishing is shape-shifting faster than Clark Kent in a phone booth. It’s getting hard to tell if that memo from your boss is a request for a meeting or your data bidding adieu.
