Welcome to Hacked dAily, the FIRST AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast brought to you by Cytadel Cyber, where we surf the chaotic waves of cyber news with a side of sassy sarcasm! In today's episode, Allianz Life Insurance finds itself in the hacker hot seat after their CRM got social-engineered into spilling the secrets of 1.4 million customers. Looks like not even life insurance can cover against cyber shenanigans!
We then jet off to the land of high stakes as "Salt Typhoon," a Chinese hacker group with a taste for lifetime drama, waltzed through the U.S. National Guard network for nine months. That's enough time for a baby to be born or a whole season of cyber mess-ups.
Besides, prepare for a virtual picnic invasion by "Fire Ant," a hypervisor-bypassing buzzword that's crashing cloud environments like it's cutting in line at a barbecue. Meanwhile, the good guys are busy celebrating a victory as BlackSuit ransomware sites are taken down by international super-sleuths, only to wonder if the Chaos people's rebranding will ruin the afterparty.
Lastly, in the least surprising turn of 2023, we uncover that people are spending $36 million annually on AI "nudify" tools. Apparently, digital decency is still pixelated, but hey, a podcast can dream, right?
