Buckle up, cyber aficionados, for today’s episode of Hacked dAily, where irony is the seasoning of our digital dish! First up, Telegram, typically a hub for cyber shadow-talk, unwittingly turns snitch, with archivist bots catching hackers like it’s the latest spy thriller. In other sneaky news, cybercriminals have cunningly adopted Atlassian’s Confluence as their latest ransom toy. Who knew data-kidnapping could be so on-trend?

Next, we time-travel with SideWinder APT as they kick it old school, exploiting antiquated Office flaws like it's a throwback party. Some call it nostalgic; we call it a call-for-upgrades before your system spirit sets permanently into the ‘90s.

Prepare for a movie-worthy twist as the Sarcoma Ransomware gang launches their cybercriminal franchise, running double extortion schemes that remind us our privacies are hottest commodities. Hollywood, are you watching?

And lastly, don that Starfleet uniform (not really) to brave the streets of cyberspace where ‘Kling AI’ scams promise loot better left to fiction. Remember, if it's tempting enough to sound like Captain Kirk’s latest tech find, it's probably a cyber mirage!

So tune in, stay techy, stay prepared, and keep your metaphorical phasers set to stun as we dive into today’s riveting narratives from the digital world.This episode is sponsored by Cytadel Cyber.
