19-Aug-2025 Cyber Chaos: Unpatched N-able, Blue Locker Targets Oil, Xerox Fixes Bugs, Medusa Ransoms Data

Welcome to another laugh-out-loud episode of Hacked dAily, your go-to cybersecurity podcast brought to you by Cytadel Cyber. Join us as we navigate the tangled web of today's top cyber mishaps, with a side of wit and a hint of sarcasm. First up, grab your popcorn for the show of unity between hackers and IT admins who seem to think leaving 800+ N-able servers unpatched is sheer brilliance. Spoiler: the plot is full of holes, and hackers are cozying up like uninvited guests. Next, the "Blue Locker" ransomware pirates have turned their sights to the oil and gas industry in Pakistan. Clearly, they believe there's Bitcoin where there's black gold, but someone should alert them—even pirates can't pay for treasure in spilled barrels of crude. Meanwhile, Xerox is working overtime to prevent seeing their multi-million dollar machines held hostage. They recently patched vulnerabilities in FreeFlow Core, proving that digital hiccups happen to even the most stoic office equipment. In other news, Medusa ransomware group is now attempting a world tour in cyber extortion, hitting Brazil and Germany. With such high ticket prices ($200K per company), you might expect a luxury beachfront release, but alas, those companies are probably wishing for a cancelation. Finally, cyber swindlers are disguising themselves as Mirae.vc, offering investments akin to snake oil wrapped in a Terms & Conditions pamphlet. Ah, just another day in the land of cyber deception. Stay tuned and stay secure, dear hackers and hackees! This episode is sponsored by Cytadel Cyber.
