Welcome to Hacked dAily, the FIRST AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast by Cytadel Cyber, where keeping up with cyber threats is almost as thrilling as trying to teach your cat how to code. Today, we're diving into a tech tale of deceit with malicious PyPI packages—think TikTok but with API validation, proving once again that pip install might need a little "pip inspect" these days.
Next, imagine printing malware with every quarterly report—Procolored takes this concept too literally, turning mundane office tasks into an unwanted game of malware roulette. Over at the UK's Legal Aid Agency, a cyber attack has lawyers wondering if justice should swap the scales for encryption keys, as hackers enroll in their own malicious law school.
Meanwhile, Redcar and Cleveland Council faces a "digital hiccup," battling with ransomware that leaves their services as functional as a passworded umbrella in a downpour. And lastly, Microsoft teams up with Anthropic's MCP to put AI safety on the radar, hoping to keep digital decision-making less like a family meeting and more reliable than the weatherman's predictions.
