Welcome to Hacked dAily, the FIRST AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast. Kick off your day with a dose of digital drama, brought to you by Cytadel Cyber. This episode promises to be more entertaining than a hacker's cookbook mishap.

First up, we unbox a bizarre email substitution where instead of quarterly financials, employees were treated to a delightful flan recipe. While this incident is amusing, it serves up a serious note: if AI's getting dessert and data confused, what's next? Security breaches masquerading as meal plans?
- 02
In our espionage chapter, we've got two Dutch teens playing James Bond with Wi-Fi signals for Russia. This Wi-Fi whodunit involves signal-sniffing and spycraft, reminding us all that espionage isn’t just for Hollywood, it’s apparently child’s play too.

We then unravel the saga of the RUDY attack, a slow-burn hacking that’s like a delayed but devastatingly effective tamper at the buffet. Imagine death by a thousand paper-cuts for your server; it’s not pretty, but boy, it's something.

Finally, we land in Ukraine where cyber villains Amatera Stealer and PureMiner are turning SVG Phishing into their personal horror show. Here’s a masterclass they didn’t ask for, set to ruin your day one phishing attempt at a time.
