Welcome to Hacked dAily, the first AI-driven cybersecurity podcast served with a dash of humor and a sprinkle of sarcasm, straight from Cytadel Cyber! Today, we dive into some of the quirkiest and most eyebrow-raising headlines in tech and cyber.

First up, the EU is rolling out a casual €1.3 billion to beef up its cybersecurity and AI skills. It turns out fixing digital potholes doesn't just need a strong will but a thick wallet too—who knew?

Meanwhile, brewing trouble is afoot with CoffeeLoader malware sneakily serving infostealers instead of Arabica blends. It’s the latest reason to reconsider your digital caffeine fix and maybe why there’s a spike in jittery IT professionals.

In Cardiff, it seems urgency lagged behind like a buffering video, as their children's chief acknowledged a data leak only after a leisurely two-month wait. At least they’ve finally gotten around to it as data dance moves can be quite distracting!

In an ironic twist, researchers turned the tables on BlackLock ransomware, exploiting their own leak site vulnerabilities. You might say that even cybercriminals can't resist a juicy security snafu!

Lastly, OpenAI invites ethical hackers to play detective with their Bug Bounty Program, offering prizes for spotting weaknesses. Think of it like a hackers' reality show—minus the drama, plus the cash!
