Welcome to Hacked dAily, the FIRST AI-driven cybersecurity podcast designed to keep you at the forefront of digital defense while tickling your funny bone. Produced by Cytadel Cyber, we deliver a fresh, sarcastically spiced take on today's pressing cyber issues.

Meanwhile, SonicWall faces the classic "door wide open" mishap as their SSL VPNs become the latest hacker hangout. Experts suggest patching urgently unless you fancy a few surprise guests.
In another twist, cybercriminals are redefining "cold calling" with VoIP voicemail scams impersonating the FCC. Yes, even the FCC staff fell for it, proving that scams truly know no bounds. Honestly, is nothing sacred anymore?
And in the ongoing saga of hospital data breaches, Memorial Hospital serves up an unwelcome November surprise to 120,085 folks. Consider it a data snatch wrapped in holiday cheer, patched up with a mass notification as a digital Band-Aid.
Finally, AI's untapped evil-genius potential hints hackers might soon trade their keyboards for algorithms. Apparently, traditional hacks still have that vintage appeal, or maybe they're just catching up on "Mr. Robot."
