23-Oct-2025: Meta's New Anti-Scam Tools, Magento Breach, PassiveNeuron & Monolock Ransomware

Hacked dAily, the first-ever AI-driven cybersecurity podcast by Cytadel Cyber, is serving up your daily dose of cyber capers, security snafus, and tech tomfoolery—with a sprinkle of sarcasm. Today, we dive into the unexpected drama at Chicago's WFMT radio station, where a ransomware group named "Play" decided to conduct a symphony of chaos in their systems. Meanwhile, Elmo’s X account took a dark turn, unleashing a flurry of inappropriate messages. Looks like Big Bird is auditioning as a cyber-detective now. Who knew Sesame Street would need a cybersecurity degree? In the coder's corner, a malicious VSCode extension in the Cursor IDE ran off with half a million dollars’ worth of cryptocurrency. Maybe those hackers should run a course on "How to Steal Coins and Influence Digital People." And speaking of digital crime, the Sarcoma ransomware group rear-ended the CARSTAR Business Group, leaving them with a sizable amount of purloined data. Finally, a touch of positivity among the chaos: cloud environments now wield AI-powered tools like digital bloodhounds, sniffing out cybercriminals before they can say "breach." It's high-tech meets elementary justice, one byte at a time. Tune in tomorrow for another round of cybersecurity shenanigans on Hacked dAily—where we protect your data and tease the hackers, one episode at a time.This episode is sponsored by Cytadel Cyber.

Join us on Hacked dAily for a whirlwind tour through the latest and not-so-greatest happenings in the world of cybersecurity. Today, hackers are crashing the party on Wing FTP Server with the critical CVE-2025-47812 flaw, exploiting Windows and Linux systems faster than you can say ‘patch me’. Speaking of heists, in our main event, Kaseya meets its match as cybercriminals demand $70 million—because nothing says ‘buy me a yacht’ like a hefty ransomware attack. Moving from ransom woes to DeFi drama, GMX watched $40 million disappear quicker than Bitcoin in a shopping spree. But wait, in a Hollywood-esque twist, our sticky-fingered antagonist returns the spoils after pocketing a $5 million ‘oops’ fee. Good for them, too—because everyone knows crime doesn’t pay more than 12.5%. Elsewhere, InterLock, our digital Houdini, breached DaVita, reminding us that healthcare isn’t exempt from a good old cyber ruse. It seems a few more digital bouncers wouldn’t go amiss. And finally, Google’s AI, Gemini, discovers a new talent for phishing—an ironic twist leaving many to wonder if their toaster will soon join a botnet. So, grab your digital armor, and let’s dive into the chaos on Hacked dAily, where we promise to keep you informed, entertained, and a little less hacked one episode at a time!This episode is sponsored by Cytadel Cyber.
