11-Sep-2024: NoName's RansomHub, Slim CD Breach, SonicWall Exploited & Fake Funeral Scams

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the FIRST AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast from Cytadel Cyber, where we unravel the tangled web of digital mayhem with a side of sass and sarcasm. In today's episode, we're kicking things off with Microsoft uncovering a new plot twist in hackerland—tax-themed emails weaponized with malware courtesy of your not-so-friendly neighborhood cyber tricksters. It’s like tax season and Halloween had an illegitimate love child. Next up, Google’s Quick Share briefly moonlighted as a clandestine operative, transferring files sans consent. Who knew your phone aspired to be 007? Thankfully, Google shut this feature down quicker than you can say "privacy invasion." Speaking of digital drama, word on the digital street is there's a new RAT in town—SnowDog RAT, to be exact. And guess what? It's more expensive than your last-minute vacation splurge, yet infinitely less relaxing. In other news, RansomHub hackers target the systems of a Minnesota tribal community, spreading chaos like a low-budget cyber-thriller. And, today’s final act: IT’s grappling with a robotic identity crisis, as AI reshapes their roles—though our silicon overlords still can't steal the spotlight at water cooler banter. So tune in, laugh a little, and because honestly, staying one step ahead of hackers is way more fun when you've got a smile on your face.This episode is sponsored by Cytadel Cyber.

Welcome to Hacked dAily, your daily byte of cybersecurity drama served with a side of sarcasm and a sprinkle of humor, straight from the cyber catacombs. Today's episode is a veritable buffet of digital chaos, peculiar problems, and patchy resolutions. First up, Apple has finally decided to patch the actively exploited bugs in its aged operating systems. Better late than never, right? Looks like those bugs were partying like it's 1999 until the tech giant played bouncer. Meanwhile, over at Google, a Cloud Run vulnerability was fixed just as users were about to stage a cyber whodunit with non-authorized access. Imagine a cat burglar with keys to the digital city—Google swooped in just in time. And in today's malware masquerade, say hello to Salvador Stealer. No, it’s not stealing surreal art, but your banking credentials. Is it time to invest in digital locks for those mobile wallets? Other news, the irony unfolds with Prince Ransomware going DIY on GitHub. Why catch up on a Netflix series when you can binge-watch the chaos of building your ransomware over a weekend? Who needs traditional crime-thrillers anymore? Lastly, Google's DeepMind is peeling back layers on AI's cyber weaknesses like a perplexing onion. So much for smart devices—seems they're just as vulnerable as the rest of us.

Welcome back to Hacked dAily, the first AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast by Cytadel Cyber! Strap in for your daily dose of digital drama and cyber capers with a sprinkling of humor and sarcasm, because yes—geeks can giggle too. In today’s top saga, a GCHQ intern mistook 'Bring Your Work Home' a tad too literally by pocketing a top-secret spy tool. Instead of just taking office pens, he snagged serious time under the legal spotlight. Next, Google is shedding its procrastinator guise by rolling out end-to-end encryption for Gmail. Now, those risky wedding dance emails about Uncle Bob are secure from prying eyes, and maybe even future archaeology fails. Who knows? Meanwhile, cybercriminals are worthy of an innovation award—if it weren’t for their villainy. Their latest trick involves wily mixes of 'vishing' calls and DLL sideloading. Because who said phishing wasn't an art form? In other news, enterprising ransomware gangs have crafted "EDR killers," turning up the heat on malware with a cocktail of creativity and, well... crime. Just picture hackers sightseeing through your digital defenses. Lastly, a rogue unprotected database has unleashed a flood of AI-generated and deepfake images into cyberspace. Perhaps it simply needed a breath of virtual fresh air, and voilà—chaos and pixels galore! Join us again on Hacked dAily for more tales that make you question if life’s a cyber heist movie after all.This episode is sponsored by Cytadel Cyber.

Welcome to another episode of Hacked dAily, the first AI-driven cybersecurity podcast by Cytadel Cyber, where technology mishaps are our daily amusement. Today, we're sipping on a cocktail of chaos, with Samsung Germany as our star bartender. They've generously shared 270,000 customer service tickets online. It's their way of saying, "Sharing is caring," albeit without their customers' approval. Next, the notorious Qakbot malware makes a not-so-graceful return with a sassy update called ClickFix. Clearly, it missed retirement and is keeping inboxes on their toes—because who said old cyber threats can't learn new tricks? For those banking on peace of mind, the Grandoreiro trojan has returned to cause a cyber-ruckus across Latin America and Europe. It's the digital equivalent of the mosquito that never quits until it gets the job done… or you're out of bug spray. And because life isn’t thrilling enough, a ransomware group leaked sensitive defense documents. It's not quite a yard sale, but they’ve certainly got governments rushing to secure their treasures. Finally, in a move entirely unrelated to our rising robot overlords, Microsoft’s AI is inspecting bootloaders for flaws. Who knew even our digital Achilles' heels could benefit from a robotic audit? Let's just hope their grading curve is kind. Join us for these headlines peppered with sarcasm, because the cyber-world is never boring with a trusted AI sidekick.

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the FIRST AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast by Cytadel Cyber, where the cyber news is hot, fresh, and just a tad sarcastic. Let's dive into today's digital rollercoaster: Apple’s doing what Apple does best—setting up digital velvet ropes. With macOS's new TCC event support, it's like Apple's personal take on the VIP club experience, where developers now get exclusive access... once they ask nicely. Over at Microsoft, it's 'fix-it-from-afar' day with a new tool in Windows 11 aimed at rescuing people from boot crashes. Finally, a way to outwit computers on the fritz without resorting to reboot voodoo dances. Meanwhile, the crocodile of the malware world, Crocodilus, is masquerading as friendly Android apps. Remember, just because it looks like a cute app, doesn’t mean it won’t bite. In today’s edition of "Why We Mute Microphones," BlackSuit ransomware crashed the Zoom happy hour, taking virtual meetings hostage instead of faces with furlongs of frozen expressions and WiFi woes. And lastly, in the realm of real help, Stack Overflow is championing human touch—because when you've got code problems, AI might be impressive, but a human can offer that unique 'you’ve-got-this' pep talk.

Then, in a move no one asked for, cybercriminals have dusted off Lisp, turning vintage code into today's stealthy malware. Who knew nostalgia could be so nefarious? We’ll also journey into a Balkan mystery, where journalists encounter Pegasus spyware, proving that investigative reporting is now a digital cloak-and-dagger affair once fit only for 007. Meanwhile, in a turn for the absurd, a cyberattack involving smart fridges has left a small business in pieces over breakfast, alluding to a domestic appliance rebellion.

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the first AI-driven cybersecurity podcast served with a dash of humor and a sprinkle of sarcasm, straight from Cytadel Cyber! Today, we dive into some of the quirkiest and most eyebrow-raising headlines in tech and cyber. First up, the EU is rolling out a casual €1.3 billion to beef up its cybersecurity and AI skills. It turns out fixing digital potholes doesn't just need a strong will but a thick wallet too—who knew? Meanwhile, brewing trouble is afoot with CoffeeLoader malware sneakily serving infostealers instead of Arabica blends. It’s the latest reason to reconsider your digital caffeine fix and maybe why there’s a spike in jittery IT professionals. In Cardiff, it seems urgency lagged behind like a buffering video, as their children's chief acknowledged a data leak only after a leisurely two-month wait. At least they’ve finally gotten around to it as data dance moves can be quite distracting! In an ironic twist, researchers turned the tables on BlackLock ransomware, exploiting their own leak site vulnerabilities. You might say that even cybercriminals can't resist a juicy security snafu! Lastly, OpenAI invites ethical hackers to play detective with their Bug Bounty Program, offering prizes for spotting weaknesses. Think of it like a hackers' reality show—minus the drama, plus the cash! Tune in daily for more cybersecurity antics and tech tidbits!This episode is sponsored by Cytadel Cyber.

It's a phishing scheme worthy of a standing ovation (just not from its victims). As ransomware gangs debut their EDR bypass tools, we can't help but see our cybersecurity fortresses crumbling like sandcastles in a bad movie plot twist.
