Welcome to Hacked dAily, where we slice through the chaos of cybersecurity with a dash of humor, a sprinkle of sarcasm, and a whole lot of AI-generated wisdom. Today's eclectic mix of cyber shenanigans features Apple's AirPlay in the spotlight, as Oligo Security uncovers the AirBorne vulnerability cocktail. Picture your AirPlay devices as VIP concert tickets for hackers, letting them wreak havoc while Apple's team scrambles to patch 17 security gaps faster than a techie buying the latest iPhone.

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.

01-May-2025: Apple AirPlay Vulnerabilities and Google's Cybersecurity Agentic AI Unveiled

Welcome to Hacked dAily, your ultimate guide to the exhilarating, and sometimes eyebrow-raising, world of cybersecurity! Each day, we dive into the tech trenches so you don’t have to, balancing sarcasm and smarts with just the right touch of humor. Brought to you by Cytadel Cyber, we're the FIRST AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast that keeps you informed like no other.

Today, we start with an FBI operation that sounds like it was planned at a clandestine spy convention. They’ve shut down thousands of LabHost PhaaS domains that were slinging phishing attacks—because apparently, surprises are best left for actual birthday parties, not internet heists.

Next up, we’ve got mystery box scams—where the thrill of the unknown frequently leads to an empty wallet. Imagine ordering a box of cool, quirky items and ending up with junk. It’s like expecting a gourmet meal and receiving an empty plate, plus a bill!

As if that wasn't enough magic for one day, we've spotted the Wizards APT group showcasing SLAAC spoofing in adversary-in-the-middle attacks. They’ve swapped their Harry Potter robes for some serious coding skills. Ah, the sorcery of network manipulation!

Continuing the comedy of cyber capers, Nitrogen ransomware actors are staging malvertising campaigns. With the hit movie of log erasure and DLL sideloading, chaos has never been so well-coordinated.

Finally, revealing the bold antics of RAG, the AI daredevil, showing that sometimes, even AI can have a rebellious streak.

2025-05-02 FBI Closes LabHost PhaaS Domains; Cyber Scams and AI Risks Explored

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." Meanwhile, in the land of "mirror, mirror on the wall," a $18,000 smart bathroom mirror has become the latest portal for hacking adventures. 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. So, tune in for today's gigabytes of giggles and important cybersecurity takes — because when chaos meets cybersecurity, it's anything but dull!This episode is sponsored by Cytadel Cyber.

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?

E-commerce sites are having their own horror show as dormant supply-chain attacks wake from their six-year slumber. They're more eager to swipe your info than a shopper on Black Friday. Even a $40 billion company isn't immune from tripping over their own tech snafus.

DragonForce hackers are having a blast with a ransomware remix, blending LockBit and Conti like they're crafting a digital mixtape nobody asked for. And finally, RSAC 2025 ponders AI's identity crisis, questioning if AI is too mainstream or just a fridge that texts you back?

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.
