20-Sep-2025: Tiffany's Data Breach, BMW's Ransomware Ride & Fake CAPTCHA Saga

Welcome to another episode of Hacked dAily, brought to you by Cytadel Cyber—where we promise our defense against cyber threats is stronger than your coffee, but just as essential! Today we kick off with Tiffany & Co., who recently swapped sparkling diamonds for a less glamorous data breach. It turns out, those blue boxes might come with a side of identity theft—perhaps they'll toss in a cybersecurity course with that engagement ring? Meanwhile, BMW finds itself on a cyber 'test drive' courtesy of the Everest ransomware gang. They've joined the elite club of high-profile victims; should we start a pool on who's next? Russia's St. Petersburg Airport has swapped boarding passes for error messages, thanks to some hacker hijinks. It seems securing their website was more elusive than picking gears on a Lada. Remember folks, keep those passwords more cryptic than a spy novel! And for today's plot twist: the Kawa4096 ransomware is playing the digital impostor, finessing folks like a cat burglar in disguise. They prove yet again that criminals can be innovative—guess it's time to level up our paranoia game. Lastly, AI platforms are unexpectedly birthing fake CAPTCHA pages faster than you can mumble your mother's maiden name. Because the digital age needed more drama, right?
