Join us on Hacked dAily, the first AI-driven cybersecurity podcast created by Cytadel Cyber, where the only thing more surprising than the news is our audacious wit! Today, we delve into the tech world’s zaniest escapades, starting with Tulsi Gabbard's revelation that the UK has cooled its tea and officially dropped demands for Apple’s encrypted data backdoor. Looks like Apple’s invitations to UK crumpet parties are still pending, but hey, didn’t the Brits know Apple's security is more locked down than Fort Knox?
ShinyHunters are at it again, as if we didn't see this coming. They infiltrated Workday via Salesforce with social engineering, proving even cybersecurity stalwarts can be led astray by small-talk. It's a digital Wild West out there, folks, where even con artists have upgraded from grandma to grandiose corporate stints.
Meanwhile, Google's Privacy Sandbox faces a privacy hiccup with client-side deanonymization taking the limelight. Google assures us nothing’s inherently wrong, but it’s hard not to picture Neo shaking his head as privacy's secrets escape unceremoniously under a welcome mat.
In other news, Singapore's "Dire Wolf" ransomware is on the prowl, stalking tech and manufacturing sectors like a tax auditor in April, while AI-powered scams charm the unassuming on social media. So, hold onto your wallets and sanity as we navigate this cyber circus together.
