Welcome to Hacked dAily, the AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast brought to you by Cytadel Cyber, where we cut through the noise with wit as sharp as our data breaches.
In today's cyber saga, "Scammers Get Crafty" presents a brand new phishing attack that couldn't resist the pull of job seekers' desperation. Promising jobs with Meta and WhatsApp, these scammers redefine "dream job" to include "nightmare inbox." We're wondering if the next plot twist is a job offering a corner office in cyberspace.
In a plot lifted from Cyber Blunder Theater, a loose Logezy database spills UK health workers' personal data like confetti at a data breach parade—less festive, more "whoopsie daisy!"
Meanwhile, email tricksters are dusting off the age-old "We've got your scandalous videos" trick—spoilers: they don't. For those scared, take a deep breath, update your passwords, and remember your webcam is your friend, not foe.
In other plagues... I mean, news: Ransomware attackers are cozying up to a zero-day flaw in Windows in hopes to paint the world into a corner with their latest tool, PipeMagic.
Finally, AI isn't just matching humans in chess; it's helping hackers script the next big phishing hits. If only it came with an apology patch for every alarm we ignore.
