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

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the first AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast, brought to you by Cytadel Cyber. We take on the daily cyber rollercoaster, so you don’t have to! Today, we're serving up a plate of irony with a side of chaos. First, grab your popcorn as the notorious LockBit ransomware gang hilariously finds themselves hacked, learning the hard way that leaving your cyber backdoor ajar can result in an unwanted spotlight on their sensitive data. It's a case of the hunter becoming the hunted—oh, the sweet taste of karma! Next, in a plot twist Picasso never painted, hackers have started hiding malicious code in SVG images, turning unsuspecting logos into Trojan horses. You might find a hacker's encrypted artwork more chaotic than creative, so keep your antivirus ready when admiring those digital masterpieces. In another tale of cybersecurity neglect, Colonial Pipeline's outdated defenses opened a gateway to a 2021 ransomware havoc, triggering fuel shortages and a mad dash for gas cans. A little lesson here: firewalls are just as essential as fuel reserves. Meanwhile, Gunra ransomware brings double-feature devastation with costly extortion tactics. Your wallet may feel tighter than your firewall after a $2.73 million hit per incident. Finally, a tech twist in the UK where 80% of firms face talent shortages amidst mounting AI threats. Perhaps someone should invent AI capable of teaching us to manage AI before we program a robo-team to tackle our security woes. Till then, stay cyber-safe, folks!This episode is sponsored by Cytadel Cyber.

First up, we spotlight CISA, finding themselves squarely in the crosshairs of some critical acclaim, not for their cybersecurity acts but for playing lead in what's dubbed the 'censorship industrial complex'. Amidst the political theater, critics are wielding scissors ready to snip their budget by $500 million. Who knew cybersecurity could pack this much financial and dramatic suspense?

DragonForce hackers are having a blast with a ransomware remix, blending LockBit and Conti like they're crafting a digital mixtape nobody asked for.

Next up, let's toast to Rami Khaled Ahmed, a mastermind of chaos from Yemen, as he allegedly orchestrates a Black Kingdom cyberattack. With around 1,500 hostages—sorry, we mean computer systems—tangled in ransomware, hopefully, his future vacation plans will involve a nice federal facility in the U.S. Who says crime doesn't come with room and board? Meanwhile, researchers expose a sneaky supply chain infiltration delivering Linux malware, proving once again that hackers are like onions: full of layers that might make you cry—or throw your workstation out the window. In the world of cyber cartels, DragonForce is rolling out a new ransomware style, offering discounts and a code of "honor"—because every outlaw needs a moral code, right?

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the world's FIRST AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast by Cytadel Cyber, serving a fresh blend of tech tales and digital drama! Today, TikTok discovered EU data privacy laws aren’t served a la carte, with Ireland slapping them with a €530 million GDPR citation quicker than you can say "data leak."

Someone at xAI must have thought their API keys were like their diary—just toss it under the bed and hope for the best! This slip-up potentially exposed SpaceX and Tesla LLMs, much to Elon Musk’s probable headache. Over in Oregon, the Rhysida ransomware group pulled off a heist that would make Ocean's Eleven blush, looting 1.3 million files from the Department of Environmental Quality. Guess no one taught them that "respectful" and "ransomware" don't typically go hand in hand. But don’t worry, Meta is riding in like a data-protecting Jedi, hyping up new AI security measures almost as eagerly as we consume cat memes.

Today's eclectic mix of cyber shenanigans features Apple's AirPlay in the spotlight, as Oligo Security uncovers the AirBorne vulnerability cocktail.

Next, Google steps into the digital battleground with Agentic AI—a modern knight in algorithmic armor battling data-centric dragons. It's AI versus hacker in a cyber Whack-a-Mole game that's more thrilling than any sci-fi blockbuster (we promise). Meanwhile, in a plot twist nobody saw coming, a Maryland man outsourced U.S. government projects to a North Korean developer based in China. Talk about bridging international bureaucracies—though this creative hire earned him a potential 10-year retreat behind bars. Elsewhere, the "Spam King" (a.k.a. Phorpiex botnet) cozies up with LockBit for one epic cybercrime meetup. When cybercriminals network better than we do, you can bet security pros everywhere are pulling out their digital hair. Lastly, AI shows up as the unfazed superhero of cybersecurity, keeping threats at bay while the rest of us caffeinate.
