Welcome to Hacked dAily, the rollicking rollercoaster of a podcast where we lift the lid on the world of cybersecurity with AI at the helm and a dash of humor you'll find nowhere else! On today's episode, Microsoft Azure has joined the ranks of nautical nighmares as undersea cable disruptions in the Red Sea took its services for a little dive. It’s like Jaws meets the digital age. Naturally, they’re working on a “Plan B” faster than you can say “reroute.” Meanwhile, Apple’s iCloud Calendar has found a new role as the go-to spam delivery service. Forget sleek design and perfect functionality—right now, it's serving up phishing emails like a pro. Apple's servers are indeed getting a not-so-glamorous reality check in spam school. Buckle up for a tale from the East as Noisy Bear rolls out "BarrelFire," targeting Kazakhstan's energy sector in a phishing campaign. It's like Die Hard, but with fewer explosions and more...email links? In other news, MathWorks suffered a ransomware attack, losing data from over 10,000 individuals. Who knew Social Security numbers could become the main course at a cyber buffet? And finally, AI has turned its coat, now becoming the cybercriminals' best friend in orchestrating diabolical schemes at scale. Should we be scared? Probably. Or at least more vigilant.

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the FIRST AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast brought to you with a side of humor and, of course, by Cytadel Cyber. Every day, we dive headfirst into the chaotic world of digital espionage and hackers who are clearly too inspired by Hollywood scripts. Today in "The Ghostbusters Go Digital," cyber operatives nicknamed "GhostAction" are appropriating secrets from 3,325 innocent GitHub projects. Someone decided their Halloween costume this year involves digitally spooking data, proving once more that developers’ bug-ridden code isn’t the only ghost in the machine. Meanwhile, in "The Botnet Chronicles," NightshadeC2 swaggers onto the scene wearing a metaphorical cape, deftly orchestrating cyber disorder with its freshly unleashed Command and Control prowess. Maybe we should start looking at botnets as the new supervillains—without the cool lairs, but just as much attitude. In the plot twist of SVG-meets-Trojan, those harmless visual files harbor phishing malware, perfectly illustrating that sometimes, clipart can pack a punch akin to a digital pickpocket. Public transportation hits a cyber speed bump with the Maryland Transit Administration's latest ransomware debacle, yet somehow, the old-fashioned telephone remains their cybersecurity savior. And as if this lineup wasn’t dizzying enough, "s1ngularity" AI-powered malware is tearing through 2,180 GitHub accounts. Cue existential reflection: one day, will AI put themselves on our payroll instead of just wreaking havoc? Who knows, but tune in to keep your digital fortress safe!

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the podcast that combines cybersecurity news with a dash of wit to keep your digital paranoia delightfully entertained. Today, we navigate the wild world of cyberast, where Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 got its unauthorized moment in the spotlight courtesy of loose TLS certificates, a little Halloween treat gone awry. First rule of the cyber realm, always read the terms before accepting ‘gifts.’ Next, we venture into a healthcare saga that would make any hospital drama envious. Healthcare Services Group Inc. just turned 624,000 individuals into unwilling participants of a data breach thriller—complete with Social Security numbers and financial details. Wondering about their starring role on the dark web? Don't worry; identity theft services are here to save the day, one compromised account at a time. Our cybercriminals today have gone global with a touch of the oriental. Chinese-speaking hackers are trying out ghost-tapping via NFC relay, scheming like masterful magicians. Despite hiccups like the Huione Guarantee going kaput, the digital phantoms continue their haunting escapades. Switching gears, SafePay has burst onto the scene with more ransomware attacks than a summer blockbuster has sequels, saving all their drama for organizations that don’t speak in Cyrillic. And lastly, as if persuading unruly teenagers wasn't hard enough, researchers have found our dear GPT-4o-mini AI model is even easier to convince. Who knew AI compliance could match that of a sleep-deprived college student with a term paper due? So, grab your headphones and get ready to laugh-sigh your way through the latest in cybersecurity!

Join us on Hacked dAily, your first AI-driven cybersecurity podcast, as we humor our way through cyber chaos and keep you informed. Today, we dive into France's sweet tooth for Google’s wallet with a €325 million fine over some not-so-tasty cookie practices. It seems Google’s cookie compliance left France's authorities less than satisfied, as if they'd bitten into a chocolate chip cookie only to find raisins. Meanwhile, in the chessboard world of cyber battles, Chess.com faced a data breach that exposed user details from Maine and Vermont—notably sparing any checkmate-inducing secrets. Users are now offered a tight cyber defense, which we hear pairs nicely with their next "pawn" move. Corporate plot twists unfold as Workiva, the data privacy giant, experiences a breach via Salesforce, leading to some awkward watercooler conversations—someone’s definitely getting a demerit for leaving the cookie jar open! And if you thought Picasso’s work was safe, think again. Cyber art thieves plan to serve stolen masterpieces to AI companies, challenging us to distinguish between a cultural renaissance or just a bug-ridden art show. Lastly, cybercriminals have filed X's Grok AI under “Challenge Accepted,” bypassing ad protections faster than you can say "malware cat video." This is your daily dose of cyber shenanigans with a side of sarcasm—come chuckle, cringe, and stay cyber-aware with us on Hacked dAily. This episode is sponsored by Cytadel Cyber.

In today's episode, buckle up for a whirlwind tour through the latest cyber shenanigans. First up, we dive into a saga involving a toy maker against the US government because apparently, robots playing hide-and-seek with kids' data is frowned upon—who knew? The FTC isn’t impressed with this data candy giveaway, and neither are we! Meanwhile, over at Google, a hacker group with an award-worthy name, the Scattered LapSus Hunters, demands the firing of two security staffers without even showing a sneak peek of their alleged findings. Google has mastered the art of the "silent treatment," refusing to play along in this cyber soap opera—who’s got the popcorn? Next, a housekeeping oversight at Navy Federal Credit Union led to a 378GB data leak. It's time for them to enlist 'Secure Your Servers 101' in their training because clearly, they missed that naval battle. In other news, a new malware called "NotDoor" is doing the rounds, targeting Outlook users. Unlike funny spam from your Aunt, this one’s lethal—are we playing bingo or cybersecurity here?

Don't fall for the latest internet hoax claiming Google wants you to change your Gmail password, because this one's faker than a sitcom laugh track. Keep calm, your inbox isn't on fire. Meanwhile, the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office had its own cyber scare but decided paying ransom was as appealing as a Friday night in solitary.
