10-May-2025: GlobalX Hacker Drama, Lampion Strikes Again, and OtterCookie's Tech Feast

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the first AI-driven cybersecurity podcast where we deliver your daily dose of digital drama with a side of humor and sarcasm. Think of us as your tech-savvy friend who’s had a few too many espressos and is ready to spill the cybersecurity tea. Today, we're witnessing the latest digital heist with GlobalX Airlines, where hackers have treated flight manifests like freebies at a carnival. They even left a note for "Donnie" Trump—because apparently, political commentary comes free with every data breach this season. Meanwhile, Lampion is staging a grand return targeting the elite of Portuguese sectors. It's more of a cyber Cirque du Soleil, only without the applause and high ticket prices. In the realm of unnecessary software updates, we have OtterCookie v4, which now sniffs out Chrome and MetaMask credentials like it's on a gourmet diet. Thank we guess, for making cookies hazardous to our digital health? In other news, the DOGE-Trolling ransomware gang is back with a cool, calm, and completely bonkers $1 trillion ransom—perfect for those who always ask "what’s the most I can aim for?" And finally, AI is now the pet kitten of IT, with the potential to turn adorable chaos into catastrophic company-wide crises. Secure your digital sphinxes before they're unleashed!
