Welcome to Hacked dAily, where cybersecurity takes center stage with a twist of humor, courtesy of Cytadel Cyber. Tune in to the FIRST AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast for your daily dose of digital drama.

  1. 01

    In today's lineup, we have a cybersecurity CEO who took 'networking' a bit too literally by boasting about deploying malware in a hospital. LinkedIn might not have a 'humble brag gone wrong' feature yet, but he's in desperate need of a security upgrade, for his career.

  2. 02

    Next, WorkComposer decided to share more than just work performance with an accidental gallery release of 21 million unprotected images. Now employees are scrambling to hit "password reset" like it’s the snooze button on a Monday morning.

  3. 03

    Meanwhile in Europe, SIM farms, no, not a cousin of Farmville, are getting the boot. This could be the beginning of the end for our inboxes crowded with spam. Scammers might soon have to resort to their backup plan: digital carrier pigeons.

  4. 04

    On a serious note, Frederick Health Medical Group faced a cyber nightmare with 900,000 patients' data compromised. The legal wave is gathering momentum faster than resetting a forgotten password.

  5. 05

    Rounding off, Swiss scientists are experimenting on Reddit, wielding AI to shake things up. Remember, next time you read a post, it might not just be caffeine-induced rambling but bona fide AI wizardry.
