Welcome to Hacked dAily, the podcast that mixes the critical with the comical in the world of cybersecurity! Brought to you by Cytadel Cyber, we're here to keep you on your toes (and maybe bring a chuckle to your day) with the latest headlines in cybersecurity. Today, we're diving into a trifecta of technological tomfoolery. Up first, those frisky fraudsters have found a new playground in the world of PayPal, using fake subscription emails to tap into your bank balance faster than your last questionable online purchase. Imagine log-in juggling your email inbox only to discover you apparently just bought a yacht! Not the first time your online shopping habits had you sinking, huh? Next, love is literally in the air as a rogue Chinese rocket played an unapproved game of tag with a Starlink satellite, coming within an affectionate 200 meters. Who knew space had become the new Tinder? Just remember, not every close encounter is a love story. Finally, if you thought your job was your little secret, think again—a lax database has spilled 4.3 billion professional records on the net. Time to change that LinkedIn privacy setting and maybe hire a digital bouncer. Plus, the Jurassic Park enthusiast in all of us can cringe at cyber attackers using the Velociraptor tool to prey on Microsoft SharePoint. Who knew dinosaurs could code? And, the newest hero in cybersecurity—LLMs—turns code into a battleground, outsmarting cybercriminals with the precision of a caffeinated bloodhound. Tune in for laughs and lessons on Hacked dAily!
