01-Jun-2025 Cyber Crime Chronicles: Interlock, Rust Infostealer, and Tycoon2FA's Team Play

Welcome to Hacked dAily, your quick-witted, AI-driven romp through the world of cybersecurity brought to you by Cytadel Cyber. Our podcast is daily, because cybercriminals seem to work overtime—yay for us, right? Today's top story introduces Interlock Ransomware, which has decided to spice up the UK scene with NodeSnake RAT. Move over Bond villains; these guys are more about bytes than black ties. Meanwhile, cyber baddies have taken a shine to Rust, not the garden variety, but the programming language, unveiling a new infostealer via ClickFix. There's innovation, and then there's "we're just too cool for Java." What's that? A collaboration announcement? Tycoon2FA Phishing-as-a-Service and Dadsec are the latest power couple, aiming to outwit your Office 365 defenses. Who knew phishing could be this dynamic? Spoilers: session cookies aren't safe either. Elsewhere, NightSpire is busy in their 2025 villain debut, leveraging "double extortion," like the virtual twin of a BOGO deal, only less exciting and more terrifying. And as a cherry on top, AI's finishing school skills are apparently more geared towards preparing ransomware than etiquette—helping these cyber rascals at an impressive 80% rate. Oh, AI, can't you just stick to writing bad poetry and your motivational tweets?
