30-Sep-2025: Amazon's $2.5B Settlement, Ransomware Drama & Evil AI Tricks Global Firms

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the FIRST AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast by Cytadel Cyber, where we explore the digital world's shake-ups with wit, a touch of sarcasm, and a dash of humor. On today's episode, Amazon coughs up a cool $2.5 billion settlement over its Prime maze disguised as a subscription. Beware: consumer refunds ahead may be more visible than "Cancel Prime" buttons hidden like national treasures! Next, we shift our gaze to a ransomware gang with high aspirations—taking tips from a BBC journalist on hacking a media giant, possibly in pursuit of their dream career as morning show hosts. Watch as cyber irony turns prime time. Meanwhile, cybercriminals from Lunar Spider stage a digital staycation, transforming a solitary click into a two-month breach. It's time organizations added "Don't Click on Suspicious Links" right below "Don’t Steal Lunches" in the company manual. And as if that's not enough, Montreal's PHI Centre falls victim to INC ransomware’s unwelcomed art exhibit, showcasing pilfered docs. Looks like their archives are now a canvas for some unsanctioned artistic chaos. Finally, meet "EvilAI," the moustached malware sneaking in as legitimate AI tools. Because in the world of advancing tech, playing "Spot the Fake" never gets old. Join us everyday for your daily dose of cybersecurity snark and savvy. This episode is sponsored by Cytadel Cyber.
