Welcome to Hacked dAily, the FIRST AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast from Cytadel Cyber, where every day is just another episode of "How Did That Happen?". In our latest byte-sized slice of cyber comedy, the Post Office dodges a £1 million fine after a website upgrade flops harder than a fish out of digital water. Don't upgrade your site if you can't handle the breach, amirite?

We then jet-set to South Korea, where a group misused IP cameras to become accidental directors of their own inappropriate film festival. Too bad they forgot the FBI cameo in their not-too-smart script! Speaking of missteps, North Korea’s Lazarus Group is cashing in on the freelance IT scene. Who knew gig work could be so...hazardous?

Over at Asus, their camera code got a nasty bug—let's call it Hackflix Original, shall we? Now they’ve got a behind-the-scenes thriller, “Pixels in Peril". We wrap up today’s show with Anthropic’s Claude AI Skills, unwitting stars of a ransomware drama. Just goes to show, it's all fun and games until your digital assistant turns into a cyber burglar. Join us daily as we laugh and sigh through this minefield of digital mishaps. Protect those passwords, folks!

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the sassy and slightly snarky cybersecurity podcast brought to you by Cytadel Cyber. Today’s tales of techno-chaos are sure to tickle your digital defenses, so buckle up!

First up, the plot thickens as those infamous twin hackers, once notorious for their digital escapades against the State Department, are now on Uncle Sam’s payroll, tasked with cleanup duty in the same homeland database playground. It’s a classic case of letting the foxes back into the henhouse, because why not give them a second chance to remix their original hits?

Then, Freedom Mobile joins our soap opera saga, announcing a data breach that sees a hacker sneak in through a subcontractor’s account. No payment info was taken, so it’s like your wallet is safe, but your spare keys, not so much. An excellent reminder that even digital squirrels can sometimes snap away your acorns.

Over at Microsoft, they've heroically fixed a Windows shortcut flaw after years of espionage agents sipping cocktails in the vulnerability's luxurious comforts. Better decision-making came later than a student submitting homework, but hey, at least they did it!

Inotiv, meanwhile, is picking up the pieces after a ransomware attack treated their personal data like viral cat videos—too trendy for their liking.

Finally, OpenAI teaches AIs to admit their fibs—because if robots can own up, maybe someday humans will follow suit. 

Tune in tomorrow for more digital drama!
