Welcome to Hacked dAily, the spicy cybersecurity cocktail shaken and stirred by Cytadel Cyber! Let's dive into today's rollercoaster of cyber mishaps, starting with EazyTick's spectacular data leak—it turns out their idea of security was more "open-air museum" than "Fort Knox," leaving users to reinvent themselves with fresh emails and passwords, a new-age digital makeover nobody asked for.
Meanwhile, over at Coupang, a plot twist that sounds like a rejected Bond script unfolds as a hacker decides to deep-six his incriminating MacBook by giving it a swimming lesson. But fear not, investigators were on top of their fishing game and retrieved it! Coupang, in a $1.2 billion peacekeeping mission, is hoping a slew of free vouchers will make everyone forget faster than you can say "data breach."
Then we have a hacker whose download game was stronger than Netflix's, hitting 2.8 million installations of KMSAuto malware. Maybe next time, they’ll look for a subtlety course instead of a malware empire—it tends to come with cold showers, not super yachts.
And elsewhere, banks are rolling out the red carpet to welcome customers into the Marquis Software ransomware club. It's the heist du jour where personal data slips away like coins in a casino.
Finally, it's AI vs. AI in a digital showdown, as companies rush to un-match villainous Hollywood plots in their cyber defenses. Time to bolster those digital battlements! So grab your fire extinguisher and tune in—it's only going to get hotter!
