Hacked dAily - where cybersecurity headlines meet their slightly irreverent match! Join us for today’s saucy tales in the world of cyber mayhem. First, we dive into a corporate mishap that left a company in the dark after a CEO-defined password faux pas, guess password123 shouldn't have made the cut, huh?

Over in South Korea, SK Telecom took a two-year sabbatical from vigilance, allowing malware to nonchalantly collect 26 million bits of data. Meanwhile, the SideWinder group's expanding their chaos empire by targeting public sectors in South Asia. Who knew budget meetings could be so tempting?

The drama continues with the FBI shining a spotlight on the Silent Ransom Group, aka Luna Moth, as they cha-cha into law firms under the guise of IT support, proving phishing really is the new hustle of our digital age.
