Buckle up for today's episode of Hacked dAily, the FIRST AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast by Cytadel Cyber, where even the hackers think about taking notes! We've got a lineup that could make your morning coffee spill out of sheer disbelief. Our headliner today is that slippery Astaroth banking trojan, which has decided to make GitHub its newest clubhouse. If only code repositories came with bouncers!

Next, we delve into an unexpected plot twist starring Microsoft: who thought they'd swap bug squashing for student data squatting in their 365 Education suite? It seems like those PowerPoint transitions aren’t the only top-secret feature they’re mastering these days.

Invoicely decided to join the 'oops club' by mistakenly sharing 180,000 sensitive records. That's one way to achieve transparency, though maybe not the kind they were aiming for. Meanwhile, over in educational news, North Stonington Public Schools found themselves headlining a ransomware horror show, with the INTERLOCK group claiming a three terabyte data heist.

Lastly, AI's new gig as a cyber crook's best friend raises the stakes in online scams. Forget the dodgy grammar; AI's replicating voices, identities, and possibly that weird sandwich order. With issues like these, being a little paranoid becomes quite the survival skill. Tune in to get all the inside scoop, a dash of sarcasm, and remember—keep your digital umbrella handy!

First up, Singapore: where even the scammers wear suits. Impersonating government officials seems to be the new get-rich-quick scheme, and hey, if it’s good enough for a plot in ‘Oceans’ Eleven’...

Amazon Web Services decided the digital world needed a nap, temporarily sending Prime Video and Fortnite into a hiatus. We all know you’ve been yearning for an in-real-life side quest, anyway. In slightly darker corners of the internet, hackers are exploiting old VPNs and insecure Microsoft 365 logins because apparently, hackers love a vintage attack.

Meanwhile, in the AI realm, researchers exposed that infiltrating a model is as easy as throwing gibberish into its training data—thanks to the clever minds at Anthropic and friends. It appears nonsense is more powerful than we thought!

Today, we're astonished by Google's superhero-like takedown of 3,000 malware-laden YouTube videos. Turns out, enticing folks with cracked software isn't rocket science, but Google was quick to say, "Not today, malware!" Moving on, the "CoPhish" cyber bandits are fishing for OAuth tokens using Copilot Studio agents—because why not have your phisher sound like a friendly developer? Just don't be too charmed by that unwarranted compliment on your code.

HP, in an admirable aim for improvement, paused their software update after it crashed users' abilities to authenticate with Microsoft Entra ID—because who doesn’t love unexpected digital roadblocks? Seriously, though, their timing couldn’t have been more hilariously off. 

Meanwhile, Medusa ransomware group dropped 834 GB of Comcast's private data online after negotiations fell through—guess the hackers missed the memo about basic decency. Lastly, the Shadow Escape 0-Click threat is giving our AI assistants performance anxiety, putting trillions of records at risk. Perhaps our AIs can start practicing their "privacy poker face."

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?

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!
