Welcome to Hacked dAily, your daily dose of cyber mayhem and mayhem-busting, delivered with a touch of snark and a side of tech-savvy humor. Today, we dive into a cybercriminal bust larger than your aunt's holiday fruitcake—INTERPOL's multi-national Zoom call ended with 306 suspects wishing they'd stuck to solitaire. Meanwhile, the VanHelsing ransomware is channeling its inner vampire slayer, targeting Windows with all the subtlety of a bat in a china shop.

Next, hold onto your hats, as we unravel the digital drama of a lone cybercriminal masquerading as a quartet of misfits—ALTDOS, DESORDEN, GHOSTR, and Omid16B—until Group-IB played detective and Thailand police swept in for the arrest.

Over in Union County, Pennsylvania, the latest juicy script unfolding involves a ransomware attack that's left officials running in circles and residents anxiously checking for stolen identities—a thriller nobody signed up for.

And finally, enter the hero (or future villain?): Microsoft's AI agents, ready to assist humans in battling digital demons. Let's just hope they stick to fighting crime and not end up as part of the next podcast episode!
