Welcome to Hacked dAily, the FIRST AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast brought to you by Cytadel Cyber. Today we're diving into a fiery mix of espionage, intrigue, and a dash of cyber comedy, just enough to keep your firewalls and spirits up!

First up, it's chips ahoy with a side of suspicion as China puts Nvidia's H20 chips under the magnifying glass, amid concerns these AI marvels come with more tracking features than a GPS-enhanced bloodhound. It’s a tech standoff with an international twist — minus the tiara but loaded with 'backdoor' glamour. 

Next, in a plot twist worthy of a thriller, telecom networks discovered hackers quietly squatting for 10 months with malware so sneaky, it whispered through wires, leaving companies scrambling to kick out these invisible squatters faster than you can say "Oops, wrong season!" 

In another tale of electronic exploits, cyber baddies are leveraging Windows shortcuts to deliver REMCOS backdoors, proving that those little desktop arrows are not just for making filing easier. Move over corporate gossip, we’ve got a new rapid-spreader!

Additionally, while the Dutch Caribbean’s beaches remain idyllic, it's the servers feeling the heat as ransomware piratestied up government services tighter than a packed tourist resort. Walk the plank, digital buccaneers!

And finally, sophisticated hackers have traded traditional password games for an API elegance dance. With credential stuffing evolving into a business logic tango, our digital defenses may need a few dance lessons.

03-Aug-2025: Nvidia Scrutiny, Malware Intrusions & Caribbean Ransomware Crisis Unfold

Welcome to Hacked dAily, your go-to podcast for all things cybersecurity, where we navigate the murky waters of online security with a sprinkle of sarcasm and a dash of humor to make even the grimmest data dumps surprisingly entertaining. Brought to you by the cyber-whizzes at Cytadel Cyber, it's the first AI-driven cybersecurity podcast, and it's keeping you informed without putting you to sleep.

Today, we’re starting with Facebook, which is at it again with the ol' privacy settings shuffle post-data breach. Just when you thought they mastered privacy, they invent new creative ways to say "Oops, we did it again." Next, we discuss "Aurora," the new cyber tool that’s sniffer-ready to root out threats before hackers have a chance to spell-check their malware notes. It's like giving cybercriminals a complex about not sticking to simpler hobbies.

Feeling safe with your emails? Think again! Cyber Houdinis are wrapping those innocent-looking hyperlinks tighter than a mummy and making off with your Microsoft 365 logins faster than you can say 'unsubscribed'. ShadowSyndicate is moonlighting in international espionage, a real plot thicker than a Hollywood blockbuster. And just when you think old-school was out, ShinyHunters bring back vishing, proving phone calls are still all the rage for data breaches.

Weekly Enterprise Security News and Tips on Building Security From Day 1 - Guillaume Ross - ESW #418

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the go-to podcast for your daily dose of cyber chaos and digital drama, served with a sprinkle of sarcasm. Brought to you by Cytadel Cyber, it's the first AI-driven cybersecurity podcast that turns the mundane into a melodrama you won't want to miss.

Today, in our top tale, the Einhaus Group discovered that paying a $230,000 ransom to the Royal Ransomware gang was a fast track to business oblivion. Turns out, paying cybercriminals isn't the magic potion they hoped for—now you see your business, now you don't!

Then, in a move akin to watching plastic chains defend a fortress, Cisco shone a light on AI's feeble "security fences." Spoiler: they're about as effective as wet tissue in a storm.

Next up, the cunning RoKRAT shellcode is pulling off a cyber Houdini, sneaking into systems under the guise of innocent images. Perhaps returning to quill and parchment isn't such a whimsical dream after all?

In glitzier news, the hacking group D4rk4rmy dazzled the posh corners of Monaco, proving that even elites need more than charm—perhaps an actual antivirus?

Finally, the 2025 Threat Hunting Report reveals cybercriminals are boosting their villainy with AI. Who knew crooks would be trendsetters with generative AI, making rookie hackers look like pros?

On this episode of Safe Mode, Greg Otto sits with two CISA leaders, Chris Butera, Acting Executive Assistant Director for CISA’s Cybersecurity Division, and Bob Costello, CIO of CISA, at the 2025 Black Hat USA Conference to discuss numerous different topics: the recent Microsoft Sharepoint vulnerability, the upcoming CIRCIA rulemaking, the future of the JCDC, state and local cyber grants, and the emphasis they are placing to strengthening public-private partnerships.

In our reporter chat, Greg talks with Matt Kapko about what they both heard during their conversations at the Black Hat conference. 

What is CISA’s focus moving forward

A dark, tense, and driving electronic track perfect for dystopian crime thrillers. A pounding kick drum and tense synths create an atmosphere of high stakes and surveillance. 

Corrupt Signal

Today’s cybersecurity roundup covers major developments worldwide — from the UK backing down on Apple encryption demands to new exploits in Apache ActiveMQ. We dive into exposed flaws at McDonald’s, North Korean hackers leveraging GitHub, and a ClickFix attack using a fake BBC News page. Updates from Google Cloud’s 2025 Security Summit highlight stronger protections, while a cyberattack in the Netherlands has disabled dozens of speed cameras.

Global Cybersecurity Roundup: Privacy Battles, New Exploits, and Infrastructure Under Attack

💻 INITIATING SEQUENCE...
This isn't just a song; it's the quiet before the storm. "The Setup" is a cinematic descent into the digital shadows, chronicling the methodical, patient stages of a cyber-attack. Every lyric is a tactic, a whisper from the MITRE ATT&CK framework mapping the long-con game of acquiring infrastructure, compromising accounts, and staging capabilities.
Feel the tension build with hypnotic arpeggios and a driving sawtooth bassline that hits like a root command. We built this track on a foundation of crisp electronic drums and vast, atmospheric pads, creating a digital landscape for the smooth, ethereal vocals to glide through. It's the soundtrack for your late-night coding session, your next CTF competition, or that moment you realize you're a ghost in the machine.
If you're into the dark, driving energy of artists like Perturbator and Gesaffelstein, the cinematic scope of a Trent Reznor score, or the world of Mr. Robot, you've found your new anthem.

Flippin' a switch in a data sea
Gotta acquire infrastructure, quietly
Spin up a server, rent a domain name
Playin' a ghost in a digital game
Got the access, a key without a door
Just a crack in the code, and I'm wanting more

'Cause this is the setup, the long-con game
Before they ever even know my name
I'm building the stage, letting the shadows grow
This is the quiet... the quiet before the show

Got a list of names, a simple, tempting lure
Compromise accounts and now I am secure
Establish new ones, a friendly, fake face
Blending right into the digital space
Hijack a router, make their systems mine
Compromise their infrastructure, right down the line

Yeah, this is the setup, the long-con game
Before they ever even know my name
I'm building the stage, letting the shadows grow
This is the quiet... the quiet before the show

I can develop capabilities, writin' my own new code
Or obtain a zero-day, lighten the whole load
A custom payload, a virus sharp and bright
No need to build when I can buy the fight

Oh, this is the setup, the long-con game
Before they ever even know my name
I'm building the stage, letting the shadows grow
This is the quiet... the quiet before the show!

Now I stage the capabilities, ready for the sign
All the pieces are in place... everything's aligned.

Initial Access
By: Russell Nomer

The network's quiet, the fortress stands tall 
You think you're protected, behind a firewall 
But a lock only works if the key can't be found 
I'm standing at the gates on digital ground 

I'll send a little lure, a carefully crafted spear 
A Phishing link, an attachment, playing on your fear 
Or you'll just surf the web to a site you thought was clean 
A Drive-by Compromise, a malware scene 
I'll change your favorite blog, rewrite the trusted script 
With Content Injection, now your safety's ripped

Initial Access! The first foot in the door! 
Eleven techniques, and I'm coming back for more! 
Initial Access! Breaching your cyber core! 
This isn't the end, this is the start of the war! 

Your Public-Facing App, with a flaw you overlooked 
That External Remote Service, now I've got you hooked 
A little USB I "lost" right on your lobby floor 
Replication starts, opens up another door 
Or maybe something physical, a sneaky little box 
A Hardware Addition that circumvents your locks

Initial Access! The first foot in the door! 
Eleven techniques, and I'm coming back for more! 
Initial Access! Breaching your cyber core! 
This isn't the end, this is the start of the war! 

Sometimes it's not a direct attack, the methods can be sly 
Through a Trusted Relationship, or a Supply Chain buy 
I'll use Valid Accounts that were stolen, weak, or new 
And that insecure Wi-Fi Network? Yeah, that was me, too... 

 Eleven ways to get inside... 
Nowhere left to hide... 
I'm in.




Initial Access

EXECUTION is LIVE. 💻🔥 The code is running. There is no turning back.
The 4th track in the viral cybersecurity series from Russell Nomer is here. After the rock anthem of "Initial Access," we descend into the dark, mechanical heart of the machine with "Execution."
This isn't just a song; it's the sound of a cyber-attack in progress. We channeled the cold, relentless power of malicious code running on a compromised system into a hard-hitting industrial rock anthem. Feel the pounding beat of the drum machine and the raw energy of distorted guitars as the system is forced to obey its new master.
This is the next chapter in the story that started with the hip-hop of "Recon," the synth-pop of "The Setup," and the rock of "Initial Access."

Execution

[Intro:] 
The access is established, the payload is deployed 
A silent little process in the digital void 
The door was just the start, a path I had to pave 
Now I am the master, and this machine's my slave 
[Verse 1]
I'll use a Command and Scripting Interpreter, a shell to do my will 
With PowerShell or Python, I'll make time itself stand still 
A simple double-click, a macro you let through 
My User Execution makes your worst fears come true 
Then Exploitation for Client Execution, a bug inside your apps 
The system's now responding to my carefully laid traps 
[Pre-Chorus] 
The bits begin to flow, the logic starts to wake 
A promise to the system I was born to break 
[Chorus] 
Execution! My code is now alive! 
Execution! Inside your digital hive! 
Execution! No place for you to hide! 
Sixteen methods running with the turning of the tide! 
[Verse 2] 
I'll take the Cloud with Admin Commands, own the hypervisor's keys 
With ESXi Administration, I do just as I please 
Deploy a Container, with my own Admin Command 
Or run Serverless Execution, spreading 'cross the land 
Through Input Injection, I'll make the system bend 
My code is now a process that you can never end 
[Chorus]
Execution! My code is now alive! 
Execution! Inside your digital hive! 
Execution! No place for you to hide! 
Sixteen methods running with the turning of the tide! 
[Bridge] 
I'll set a Scheduled Task to run while you're asleep... 
Use Inter-Process Communication, a whisper in the deep... 
Hijack your System Services... your Software Deployment Tools... 
Use your Shared Modules... your Native APIs... I'm rewriting all the rules... 
And with Windows Management Instrumentation, I have total... control... 
[Outro]
Run.
