26-Feb-2025: Anthropic's AI Marvel, Infostealer Surge, and New Ransomware Tactics

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the FIRST AI-driven cybersecurity podcast that's shaping up to be your daily dose of what-in-the-digital-world-is-going-on. Brought to you by the ever-watchful Cytadel Cyber, today's episode dives into the latest stories that will make you question why you haven't ditched the internet and moved to a cabin in the woods—yet. First up, Have I Been Pwned gets a little too inclusive by adding 284 million new accounts to its compromised data list, thanks to sneaky infostealer malware. If anything, it’s a nostalgic trip back to when even your "1234password" was considered ultra-secret. Next, a major US background check firm made hackers feel as welcome as a long-lost relative—except they invited about 3 million of them by exposing an ocean of personal records. Time for the firm to introspect with a "background check" on their own cyber safety. Channeling your great-grandfather's vintage fashion vibe, cyber criminals have taken a liking to exploiting legacy drivers. Those old vulnerabilities might seem charming, until they start draining your bank account like it's a free trial offer. As a plot twist worthy of a soap opera, ransomware hackers are opting for fast-paced data swiping over painfully slow encrypting, proving it's still cool to be quick. Finally, Anthropic’s AI, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, makes other algorithms look like they need a double espresso to catch up—revolutionizing how we define AI brilliance. Tune in daily for more cyber adventures!
