20-Jun-2025: UBS Data Leak, Scania Cyber Shuffle, and Black Basta's New Role

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the podcast serving up your daily dose of cyberspace capers with a side of sarcasm. Today, we unravel how UBS found itself ensnared in a cybersecurity plot more thrilling than any summer flick. Someone’s been playing digital peek-a-boo with employee data, proving even Swiss secrecy isn't infallible. Expect heightened buzz in the IT department and some serious cloud skepticism. Next, we journey to Sweden, where Scania had a not-so-fun game of cyber peekaboo. Hackers went on a joyride through their systems, forgetting to keep to their own data lanes. As Scania patch things up, we can't help but picture hackers as curious tour guides of tech chaos. Meanwhile, over at Black Basta, the cyber underworld embraces entrepreneurial spirit with “Tinker.” They’ve enrolled in customer service, using AI to negotiate and fish away phishing woes. Corporate crisis managers, beware—there's a new negotiator on the block, hopefully not billing by the hour! In utterly unexpected news, American Hospital Dubai is undergoing a 'data detox' courtesy of the Gunra Ransomware Group, who claim to be holding a chunky 40 terabytes of information—kind of like binge-watching reality TV, but less predictable. Finally, researchers are sounding the klaxons over “Living off AI” exploits targeting Atlassian's AI protocols. We ponder whether AI's future involves fireproof mittens or just better babysitters for our sensitive data. Tune in for your daily digestion of cyber shenanigans with just the right splash of professional critique.This episode is sponsored by Cytadel Cyber.
