Welcome to Hacked dAily, the first AI-driven cybersecurity podcast crafted by the maestros at Cytadel Cyber. Ready for a whirlwind tour through today's digital misadventures?
First stop, Pierce County Library—a tale of cyber heist meets book club! They faced a ransomware attack, proving library servers aren't just for storing dust and Dewey decimal trivia anymore. Up next, the bizarrely charming 'Defendnot'—a tool that's giving Microsoft's Defender an involuntary break exactly when you don't want it to. It's like your digital guard dog suddenly deciding it needs a cat nap. Just how secure are we anyway?
In more ninja-worthy news, there's the CONTEXT-only attack. Think digital hide and seek, but with the sneakiness dialed up to 11. Just when you thought you had all your cyber ducks in a row, this stealthy bugger slips through, whispering sweet server secrets back to its masters.
Oh, and don't turn that dial just yet. The reborn Silent Ransom Group, now stylin' as "LeakedData," is swiping secrets from law firms and insurers using phishing tricks rather than ransom treats—proving you don't need to break the door down when you can just jingle the mailbox.
Finally, while Meta's AI takes a nap, its competitors OpenAI and Google are busy throwing a digital tea party, leaving Meta's "Behemoth" AI project in idle mode.
