Welcome to Hacked dAily, the first AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast by Cytadel Cyber. Today's episode is packed with unexpected plot twists and hacker misadventures that could make even the best Hollywood writers envious.

  1. 01

    First up, Pompompurin, a name that might sound cute but in reality, he's the infamous ringmaster of BreachForums. He's traded in his hacker's keyboard for another round of familiar scenery: a prison cell with a view. Maybe he just couldn't resist the ambiance!

  2. 02

    Meanwhile, across the pond, two British teens are seemingly auditioning for a real-life "Catch Me If You Can" with their Scattered Spider ransomware campaign. They've hacked into the London transport system and nearly 50 U.S. companies. Kudos to their creativity, but their choice of side hustle? Questionable at best.

  3. 03

    In a corporate thriller twist, WatchGuard’s Firebox firewalls may have betrayed their own company, thanks to a vulnerability that suddenly turned them into cyber corporate spies. Don't worry, IT departments are strapped in and ready to patch up their digital bastion.

  4. 04

    On the international scene, CountLoader is introducing new malware flavors to support Russian ransomware. Because why innovate for good when you can diversify into cyber crime, right?

  5. 05

    Finally, ShinyHunters are taking AI-powered vishing to new heights, meddling in supply chains like it's their hobby.

  6. 06

    Join us every day as we dive into the digital underworld with sarcasm and a touch of levity!
