Welcome to Hacked dAily, your sass-filled gateway to the wacky world of cybersecurity, where every byte could be your last. Today’s headliner: WhatsApp isn’t just for sending memes anymore. They’re beefing up chat privacy while making data minefield-sneaking roommates cry into their snoopy sleeves. Move over FBI, your secrets are staying put—unless you forget to lock your phone.
Next, in the parade of "Oops, we did it again," Blue Shield accidentally shared sensitive health data of up to 4.7 million patients with Google Ads, apparently confusing healthcare privacy with a Netflix binge recommendation.
Meanwhile, enter the scene: cyber villains with a penchant for unexpected tools—using Google Forms to hijack login credentials. Remember when filling a simple survey was fun? Now it might just be a part-time job for a cyber crook.
Then we’ve got browser-based ransomware doing digital gymnastics, bypassing defenses like a pixelated Houdini. Who knew your browser had dreams of being a cat burglar?
Finally, Nvidia’s NeMo steps up—not the fish, but software tools letting everyone from baristas to CEOs imagine their own AI overlords. Soon, your latte might come with a side of machine-learning.
