We're here to ensure that every day you get the latest in cyber-chaos, wrapped in a humorous bow. Today's top hits kick off with Meta making headlines again (surprise, surprise). A glitch in their AI chatbot let adventurous guessers snoop around private chats. Sandeep Hodkasia snagged a $10,000 bounty for his detective work, proving once more that cybersecurity is just a giant game of "Guess the Number." In other news, SonicWall's SMA 100 appliances are yet again throwing a ransomware party, courtesy of UNC6148. Meanwhile, threat analysts advise it's time we all become password-olympians and firmware-detectives to keep the hackers at bay. Over in retail drama, Belk is coping with a cyber-breach courtesy of DragonForce. As potential lawsuits loom, they’re left patching up their digital fortresses long after the breach parade has passed through. Next, KEP Credit Union in Curaçao finds itself in a nightmare thanks to Qilin ransomware, with data exposures resembling a neon horror show for bankers. And finally, WeTransfer's attempt at an AI takeover fell flat, backtracking faster than a retreating army. Users weren't ready to have their files moonlighting as unpaid AI training material.

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the FIRST AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast by Cytadel Cyber, where surprising twists in the digital world meet a daily dose of humor, sarcasm, and cybersecurity brilliance. In today's lineup, Amazon is on high alert, reminding its 200 million Prime members that scammers are at the gates—seeking login details but, regrettably, not intending to buy items from our wish lists. With phishing scams at an all-time high, make sure those clicks are as rare as elusive Amazon delivery ninjas. Then, over at Cloudflare, the digital gremlins decided to make a cameo not as malicious hackers, but as the classic stumble of operational hiccups, creating a momentary blip that turned itself into a non-malevolent tech comedy. Meanwhile, Europol steps into the spotlight, dismantling the notorious pro-Russian NoName057(16) gang. Who knew that pulling the plug could silence digital chaos better than any blockbuster? In other news, AI-powered ransomware targets global infrastructure like it's Black Friday, sending policymakers and IT teams to prepare for a new kind of digital sale event. Lastly, Google's AI hero, "Big Sleep," thwarted a critical SQLite vulnerability breach, confirming that while we catch some z's, AI stays awake, ensuring our online lives resemble a typical day, not a cybersecurity horror show. Join us tomorrow for more cybersecurity antics, where even our headlines come with a side of sass.This episode is sponsored by Cytadel Cyber.

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the first AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast by Cytadel Cyber, where we serve up your daily dose of cyber chaos with a side of humor and a sprinkle of sarcasm! Today, we dive into a tale worthy of a spy novel as former soldier Cameron John Wagenius, a.k.a. "Kiberphant0m," pleads guilty to his escapades against telecom giants. Looks like his bid for Russian loyalty earned him nothing but time in a cozy jail cell. Meanwhile, Albemarle County found themselves in a game of ransomware roulette, leaving residents' data out for all to see, like an unwanted strip tease. The county officials now probably have "Avoid ransomware attacks" etched in their daily mantras. Konfety mobile threats are back, shaking up the cybersecurity catwalk with new evasion tactics. IT pros might need to update their playbooks since these villainous trends show no signs of stopping. Elsewhere, the Qilin ransomware group crashed ProActive Solutions USA’s party uninvited, exposing sensitive info. The absence of a ransom demand leaves the company in a guessing game over what just hit them. And as deepfake tech looms larger, the UN suggests we invest less in viral dances and more in tech that can spot the difference between Uncle Bob's funny video and a digital doppelgänger.

Hacked dAily, the first-ever AI-driven cybersecurity podcast by Cytadel Cyber, is serving up your daily dose of cyber capers, security snafus, and tech tomfoolery—with a sprinkle of sarcasm. Today, we dive into the unexpected drama at Chicago's WFMT radio station, where a ransomware group named "Play" decided to conduct a symphony of chaos in their systems. Meanwhile, Elmo’s X account took a dark turn, unleashing a flurry of inappropriate messages. Looks like Big Bird is auditioning as a cyber-detective now. Who knew Sesame Street would need a cybersecurity degree? In the coder's corner, a malicious VSCode extension in the Cursor IDE ran off with half a million dollars’ worth of cryptocurrency. Maybe those hackers should run a course on "How to Steal Coins and Influence Digital People." And speaking of digital crime, the Sarcoma ransomware group rear-ended the CARSTAR Business Group, leaving them with a sizable amount of purloined data. Finally, a touch of positivity among the chaos: cloud environments now wield AI-powered tools like digital bloodhounds, sniffing out cybercriminals before they can say "breach." It's high-tech meets elementary justice, one byte at a time. Tune in tomorrow for another round of cybersecurity shenanigans on Hacked dAily—where we protect your data and tease the hackers, one episode at a time.This episode is sponsored by Cytadel Cyber.

Join us on Hacked dAily for a whirlwind tour through the latest and not-so-greatest happenings in the world of cybersecurity. Today, hackers are crashing the party on Wing FTP Server with the critical CVE-2025-47812 flaw, exploiting Windows and Linux systems faster than you can say ‘patch me’. Speaking of heists, in our main event, Kaseya meets its match as cybercriminals demand $70 million—because nothing says ‘buy me a yacht’ like a hefty ransomware attack. Moving from ransom woes to DeFi drama, GMX watched $40 million disappear quicker than Bitcoin in a shopping spree. But wait, in a Hollywood-esque twist, our sticky-fingered antagonist returns the spoils after pocketing a $5 million ‘oops’ fee. Good for them, too—because everyone knows crime doesn’t pay more than 12.5%. Elsewhere, InterLock, our digital Houdini, breached DaVita, reminding us that healthcare isn’t exempt from a good old cyber ruse. It seems a few more digital bouncers wouldn’t go amiss. And finally, Google’s AI, Gemini, discovers a new talent for phishing—an ironic twist leaving many to wonder if their toaster will soon join a botnet.
