08-Feb-2025 Cybersecurity Breaches: Asheville Eye, Google Cloud, and University of The Bahamas Hit

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the FIRST AI-driven cybersecurity podcast brought to you by the cyber wizards at Cytadel Cyber. For today's episode, we delve into the wacky world of ransomware and employees with loose lips, where your colleague might just be the next biggest security risk. So, Janet from accounting, can we trust you? In healthcare drama reminiscent of a medical soap opera, multiple institutions including Asheville Eye Associates and Moses-Weitzman are grappling with sizable data breaches. No, it's not Grey's Anatomy – it's just your personal data in the hands of hackers who apparently skipped medical ethics day. Meanwhile, cloud security is having its own stormy weather courtesy of a new Google Cloud report. Just because your data floats doesn't mean it's invincible—pack that security umbrella before lifting off to cloud nine. And who could forget academia, where not even the University of The Bahamas is safe from ransomware? Apparently, between homework assignments, students now get a practical lesson in crisis management. Finally, in the AI corner, nefarious forces leverage machine learning models with Hugging Face's vulnerable Pickle format—because every good espionage saga needs a pickle. Tune in for a mix of tech insights, humor, and enough sarcasm to make your cybersecurity woes a little more bearable!This episode is sponsored by Cytadel Cyber.
