Welcome to Hacked dAily, the FIRST AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast brought to you by Cytadel Cyber, where we surf the chaotic waves of cyber news with a side of sassy sarcasm! In today's episode, Allianz Life Insurance finds itself in the hacker hot seat after their CRM got social-engineered into spilling the secrets of 1.4 million customers. Looks like not even life insurance can cover against cyber shenanigans!

We then jet off to the land of high stakes as "Salt Typhoon," a Chinese hacker group with a taste for lifetime drama, waltzed through the U.S. National Guard network for nine months. That's enough time for a baby to be born or a whole season of cyber mess-ups.

Besides, prepare for a virtual picnic invasion by "Fire Ant," a hypervisor-bypassing buzzword that's crashing cloud environments like it's cutting in line at a barbecue. Meanwhile, the good guys are busy celebrating a victory as BlackSuit ransomware sites are taken down by international super-sleuths, only to wonder if the Chaos people's rebranding will ruin the afterparty.

Lastly, in the least surprising turn of 2023, we uncover that people are spending $36 million annually on AI "nudify" tools. Apparently, digital decency is still pixelated, but hey, a podcast can dream, right?

27-Jul-2025: Allianz Hack Drama, Salt Typhoon Strikethrough & Fire Ant Secrets Unveiled

Welcome to Hacked dAily, your daily dose of cybersecurity chaos, served with a side of wit by the AI-driven savants at Cytadel Cyber. Strap in, folks, because today's stories are enough to make even the most aloof hacker raise an eyebrow.

First on the timeline, a story that could only rival a B-movie plot: an Arizona woman's career choice makes “Why Not Work for North Korea?” sound like a plausible option. She’s just $17 million richer or poorer, depending on how you look at Pyongyang’s IT job scam. We suggest she trades her current residence for LinkedIn’s safer shores.

Next, the Niagara Framework has inadvertently gone from efficient to 'everyone's welcome,' sporting vulnerabilities that could lead to some unfortunate DIY cyber home tours. Operators worldwide are considering whether a digital wrench might be better than prayer right about now.

Over in telecom land, MTN's data breach saga reminds us that maybe securing customer info should take precedence over nailing the newest ringtone jam. In cybersecurity, remember: prevention beats oops every time.

Oh, and Scattered Spider? They’re just casually dropping ransomware via VMware ESXi, while critical infrastructure scrambles faster than a WiFi signal during a Zoom call.

Finally, in our tech blooper reel, an AWS AI extension declined to operate due to a syntax snafu. Who knew code had a ‘no-shows’ list for hackers?

Welcome to Hacked dAily, brought to you by Cytadel Cyber, where we dig into the juiciest cybersecurity news with a side of snark and a dash of tech sarcasm! In today's AI-driven episode, we're donning our digital capes with Autoswagger, the newest software superhero that's out to bust API breaches with style—no deerstalker required. 

In a tale of digital heartbreak, the women-only dating app Tea has gone from secret crushes to public leaks, with 72,000 selfies now having their 15 minutes of fame on the internet. Note to self: consider adding "cybersecurity skills" to your dating checklist, right next to "emotionally available."

Microsoft steps onto the stage worthy of a national security thriller, letting Chinese engineers tinker with U.S. military cloud projects. Cue the eyebrow raise as Microsoft offers freebie upgrades, only to later clamp down on competition. Is it a clever strategy, or just setting the scene for a cybersecurity cliffhanger?

Our attention then shifts to France and Spain, where the Arcus ransomware group decides to debut its latest project, targeting schools and IT firms with a countdown clock that could give a soap opera plotline a run for its money.

Lastly, the U.S. finally dusts off its cape, positioning AI front and center in national security. They're hoping to find the balance between tech wizardry and remembering security passwords—easier said than done.

Welcome to Hacked dAily, your first-class ticket to the latest cybersecurity misadventures, served with a side of humor and a dash of sarcasm. We dive headfirst into today's wild world of digital drama—where data breaches are more standard than your daily coffee.

First up, in what should be a plotline in a hacker heist film, Scattered Spider is back, eyeing Snowflake's data storage like it's the last slice of pizza at a tech bash. Seems your cloud isn't as secure as you thought, no matter how many times you've updated that antivirus.

Next, grab your smartphone tighter, because public chargers have become the new cyber foe. Charge your phone, instead send your data off on a no-return road trip. Next time, think twice before plugging in, unless you want your privacy recharging fee-free.

Over in the UK, a charity is feeling the heat after reckless record-shredding earns them a fine. Who knew paper shredders could have such legal bite? And prove that yes, documents destroyed in silence still can rock your financial world.

Meanwhile, the Direwolf ransomware group has gobbled up gigabytes across industries like they’re on a cyber buffet. This could make for an exciting 'leak' season, leaving us all hoping we’re not on their menu next.

Finally, Base44, the platform to channel your vibe, is caught off guard with a flaw. Some irony there, right? Let's hope app developers figure out what kind of "vibe" they need to plug those pesky security holes.

If you've ever relied on a chocolate teapot, you know what this feels like. Meanwhile, Dahua cameras have embraced their inner drama queens, opening the floodgates for hackers as if auditioning for the next Mission Impossible sequel by allowing critical vulnerabilities through ONVIF exploits. Spoiler alert: Vulnerabilities abound!

Moving on, hackers have attempted a bank heist with a 4G Raspberry Pi. Their big break turned into a blooper reel faster than you can say "ATM machination". It's almost heartbreaking—almost.

And in a twist straight from a mystery novel, Dollar Tree dodges ransomware rumors faster than gossip at a family reunion, pointing out hackers' oops moment of attacking a business already retired like Grandpa's old rocking chair.

Lastly, IBM's latest report reads like financial horror, revealing runaway costs from ignored access controls. Maybe it's time enterprises invested in access controls instead of that extra pizza party?

In a plot twist straight out of a prison drama, Everglades Correctional gave inmates a taste of the high life by accidentally sharing their visitors' private info. Hello, caller ID paranoia. Meanwhile, the Florida Department of Corrections is practicing the art of silent contemplation.

Moving on to big plans and even bigger leaks, the SafePay gang is ready to spill 3.5 terabytes of Ingram Micro's secrets. Data dumping: the new sharing economy. Ingram Micro is gearing up as a digital dynamo against these cyber ne'er-do-wells.

Not to be outdone, the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority falls to the Qilin ransomware group, proving that not even Jordanian government entities can hide from digital mischief.

01-Aug-2025 Everest Team Breaches Mailchimp Amidst Ransomware Challenges for Ingram Micro & More

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the first AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast by Cytadel Cyber, where today's cyber villains show off their latest feats of digital deception. 

Our top story kicks off with Scattered Spider exploiting Slack and Microsoft Teams like it's their new group project for digital deviance—a ransomware campaign that redefines "thinking outside the chat box." Given their enthusiasm, we might want to reconsider our definition of team spirit.

Meanwhile, 0bj3ctivityStealer graces us with its presence, stealing passwords and possibly your will to live, all while masquerading as a busted spelling exercise. It's the kind of e-thievery that distracts you with productivity apps while rifling through your digital pockets.

In other escapades, Akira Ransomware has waltzed through SonicWall VPNs via a zero-day exploit, making a mockery of the term cybersecurity fortress. It's as if SonicWall just got schooled on the dark artistry of surprise visits.

Moreover, Storm-2603 is keeping busy with a DNS-controlled backdoor, proving yet again that in villainous creativity, traditional doors are out and nefarious DNS hijacking is in. It’s less "Mission Impossible" and more "Gadget Impossible!"

Finally, an AI-generated npm package shows a dark side, leaving Solana wallets emptier than a ghost town during a gold rush. '@kodane/patch-manager' might sound friendly, but it managed only to give us existential code crises—wrapped in emojis.

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!

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'.

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?
