Welcome to Hacked dAily, the FIRST AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast brought to you by Cytadel Cyber. Buckle up, because today's episode takes you on a wild ride through the chaotic world of digital misadventures.
First stop, Volkswagen Group, where production woes have taken a backseat to potential data pilfering by the Stormous ransomware gang. Whether this is another case of cybersecurity road rage or a pitstop prank, only time will tell.
Next, we detour to AT&T's latest blunder, with a data breach exposing 86 million customers. It seems they were so excited to flaunt their data collection prowess, they accidentally shared it with some unsavory guests—oops!
Meanwhile, development tools PyPI, npm, and Ruby gems have been moonlighting in the service of open-source supply chain attacks. Who knew coding could be as fraught with danger as defending a royal inheritance from a dubious long-lost relative?
In other news—if your data hasn't packed its bags for a panic room yet, FBI has 900 reasons why it should. Enter the 'Play' ransomware group, showing us that the only thing scarier than a global breach is explaining it to your IT department.
And lastly, as if the cyber-thriller writers needed more inspiration, deepfake detection was just sidestepped by replay attacks. Because nothing says "digital Houdini act" like AI technology with a face (and algorithm) for fiction!
