21-Jul-2025: Microsoft Patch Fail, PoisonSeed Strikes FIDO2, HPE's Password Woes, MacKay Ransomware Attack

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the FIRST AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast brought to you by Cytadel Cyber. Tune in as we dive into the whirlwind world of cybersecurity with a splash of wit and just the right amount of sarcasm to keep you afloat in a sea of digital drama. In today's episode, we uncover how Microsoft's attempts to patch up SharePoint vulnerabilities were about as effective as a paper umbrella in a storm, leaving users exposed to zero-day attacks. Perhaps SharePoint is just vying for a spot in the next suspense thriller? Next, we explore the nostalgic yet naughty endeavors of cyber-villains who are now downgrading FIDO2 MFA security. These hackers are proving that not all tech classics are worthy of a comeback. Who knew they'd opt for a retro vibe in the security realm? Meanwhile, HPE warns us about their Aruba access points’ "1234" approach to passwords—channeling their inner retro-tech aficionado. But don't worry, it's just a gentle nudge to upgrade from "admin" to something a tad less predictable. Also, we discuss how Taiwan's MacKay Memorial Hospital became an unexpected ransomware buffet due to an employee's questionable USB dietary habits. Not to mention, CrazyHunter ransomware seems to have chosen Taiwan as their preferred party venue. And finally, EncryptHub gives Web3 developers a techie surprise with the misleadingly named Fickle Stealer Malware, packaged as high-end AI. Let's just say, the developers could use some digital tissues. Stay secure, and maybe grab a popcorn—this episode offers all the twists of a cyber thriller!This episode is sponsored by Cytadel Cyber.
