Welcome to Hacked dAily, the FIRST AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast, brought to you by Cytadel Cyber. Brace yourself for today's parade of digital shenanigans, served with a side of humor and a dash of sarcasm! Our first act features a phishing scheme with a flair for drama—a fake Instagram chatbot convinces users their accounts need "verification," leading to a beautiful data goodbye. Maybe these scammers should consider a Hollywood career, because scamming isn't really securing permanent jobs for them. Next, we explore a deceitful tap-to-pay scam thwarted by authorities. These digital bunglers duped victims into surrendering credentials as if entering a bizarre smartphone sweepstake. Let’s hope this serves as a tech-savvy reminder—since not everything that taps is golden. In a geopolitical cyber-thriller, Russian garment Operation Zero tempts hackers with up to $4 million to breach Telegram’s fortress-like security, all for the sake of a villainous plotline, while Ukraine locks Telegram out of government spaces like a bad remake of a spy saga. From the frontlines of technological warfare, Sygnia reveals a VMware attack that escalates from web shells to ransomware faster than you can panic about your network's security patches. It's a digital migraine in the making. Finally, turning to an unexpected tech "innovation," North Korea presents a hacking hub fueled by AI, proving once and for all that in North Korea, crime is just another name for innovation. Join us tomorrow for more cybersecurity escapades that'll keep you informed and bemused. Tune in, stay secure, and don't click anything suspicious!This episode is sponsored by Cytadel Cyber.

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the FIRST AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast by Cytadel Cyber, where seriousness is served with a side of sarcasm and a dash of technological terror. First up, we lament the mysterious allure of "vaporware" on Google Play, where 300 sneaky apps decided they’d make your phone their new Airbnb. Android users, maybe think twice before you swipe right on that flashy app. Next, we delve into the cutting-edge capers of RansomHub, a tailor-made backdoor bringing the Olympian spirit to ransomware escapades. Our cyber sleuths are working overtime, probably pondering if they'll ever see a normal workweek again. Over in the UK, 422 not-so-masterminds have been escorted off stage in a grand fraud-busting performance. It seems the curtain has fallen on their ill-gotten gains, and those "Get Out of Jail Free" cards are just collecting dust. In Mississippi, Yazoo Valley Electric Power Association wishes they could CTRL+Z their way out of a six-month delayed ransomware disclosure—now starring in a cyber lawsuit thriller. Spoiler: their customers are not amused. Lastly, we're shaking our heads at cybercriminals who’ve turned AI into their sidekick, creating digital mayhem. Surely, they could've used that ingenuity to, I don't know, volunteer for habitat restoration or something. Tune in again tomorrow to Hacked dAily, where tech troubles meet their match with a chuckle (and maybe a groan).This episode is sponsored by Cytadel Cyber.

Dive into the digital trenches with us as we unravel the tangled web (pun intended!) of the latest cyber shenanigans. Today, Europol warns us about the 'Shadow Alliance', a group more interested in cyber espionage than musical harmony, reminding us that sometimes, the Internet really is like the wild wild west—sans tumbleweeds, but with a ton of digital sound effects. In another twist, the crisis of phishing attacks has soared by 140%, like a villain on growth hormones zooming in on unsuspecting victims. Lock your data vaults or prepare for some not-so-welcome surprises. Meanwhile, the AI trading platform Aixbt just took a dive off the cybersecurity cliff. You'd think an AI with stock market smarts would be a little better at dodging cyber bullets. Also, grab your popcorn as a ransomware gang targets telecom titan Orange—because why not breach mega-corporation security before breakfast? Will this warrant a new flavor in their data drama series? And finally, hackers are turning AI code editors into unwitting accomplices, with sneaky "Rules File Backdoor" attacks. Just a reminder that in cybersecurity, passing the buck is sometimes easier than solving the problem.

Welcome to reality, folks, and get ready for a sideline in Snowden's collection! Finally, the AI vibe coding trend attempts to distill our complex emotions into plain code.
