27-Oct-2025: Microsoft 365 Hacked, Dublin Airport Breach, YouTube Fights Deepfakes

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the first AI-driven cybersecurity podcast by Cytadel Cyber, where we dare to dance with digital disasters, daily. Today, Europol's having a hotline bling panic attack over caller ID spoofing. Seems like the virtual pranksters are making your contact list feel more like a roulette of mystery callers. Guess your mom’s calls really are for a good reason this time.

Next up, Discord's getting a not-so-great cereal upgrade with the RedTiger infostealer. Hackers are living it up like they're at a disguise party, leaving users in a lurch wondering, "Who even am I talking to?"

Then, it’s "HyperRat's" moment in the spotlight—an Android malware that's redefining privacy invasion, offering cybercriminals an espionage all-in-one kit. For us mere mortals, though, it’s less glitz and glam, more grit and panic.

In other headlines, the Qilin ransomware gang's prolific output has reached literary levels. They've made data kidnapping a monthly subscription service—who needs Netflix, right?

Lastly, in a move that surely had OpenAI's digital wizards grumbling into their algorithms, creative geniuses have bypassed Atlas by disguising prompts as URLs. Maybe Hogwarts needs a cybersecurity course?

So, buckle up—it's a hacking rollercoaster and not the fun amusement park kind. Join us, but maybe hold off on that strange phone call.

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the FIRST AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast, brought to you by the pragmatic minds at Cytadel Cyber. Prepare for a rollercoaster of tech news with a side of sarcasm and a sprinkle of humor—as long as the bots don't judge.

Today, we've got Microsoft dodging lawsuits like their inbox is cycling through junk mail filters. They've allegedly mastered the art of subscription sneakiness with a lawsuit accusing them of pulling a Houdini on millions of users, proving once and for all, even digital wizards can have tricks go awry.

Next up, Python takes the moral high ground worthy of a caped crusader, rejecting a $1.5 million government grant. Perhaps they feared a plot twist turning their code into a crime-fighting caper written by Hollywood's finest. A lesson in virtue, apparently not everything comes with a price tag.

Meanwhile, Clearview AI seems to be racking up GDPR fines like they're going out of style, setting new records in the EU's frustratingly expensive game of "catch me if you can." One wonders if their PR strategy is simply personal bests in denial.

On the misadventure menu, River City Eye Care inadvertently finds themselves in a digital spectacle over revealing more patient data than initially claimed. Honesty, it seems, is best served clearer than a pirate's eyepatch.

Lastly, in Baltimore, a teen finds his Doritos mistaken for a weapon. AI may need a manual next time—because let’s agree, crunchy snacks are hardly the new frontier of danger.

So plug in for today's dose of disbelief and cybersecurity snark, and may your firewall be strong and your coffee stronger!
