Welcome to Hacked dAily, where your cybersecurity updates come with a side of humor, courtesy of Cytadel Cyber's caffeinated AI. Today, we're traversing the wild kingdom of cyber threats with North Korean hackers channeling their inner beaver, deploying their BeaverTail malware across 11 npm packages. Developers, beware! Your code might be dammed, not just buggy.
Meanwhile, the Outlaw malware is proving that even in cybersecurity, vintage can be vogue. It's like that annoying relative who won't take a hint, targeting Linux systems with the finesse of a flip phone in the 5G age.
On the lighter side of tech marvels, the ESP32 is making waves. It's tiny yet fierce, like a Wi-Fi wizard ready for a covert mission. Just don't let it overthrow your router—it might be great at networking, but it doesn’t pay your ISP bill.
In other news, the Hellcat Ransomware Group purrs back into action, exploiting Jira credentials in an impressive display of digital detective work. If only they applied themselves to more wholesome endeavors.
And in today's irony-laden finale, hackers are channeling their inner James Bond, embedding backdoors in AI and business tools. Remember, if it seems too good to be true, it’s probably best to back away slowly.
