22-Feb-2025 Apple Bows to UK, Google Play Scandal, DM Clinical Data Leak, OpenAI Steps Up Security

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the FIRST AI-Driven Cybersecurity Podcast, created by your trusty cyber-sentinels at Cytadel Cyber! Today, we dive into the latest cyber shenanigans. First up, Apple decided to keep its Advanced Data Protection feature at bay from UK's prying eyes, as the government’s law enforcement's desires resemble toddlers trying to crack open a cookie jar. UK users, you’re now in a digital time-out, enjoy! Next, in our "this-is-why-we-can't-have-nice-things" segment: over 100,000 victims got an unintended spy buddy from Google Play. Say hello to SpyLend, the mischievous malware that proves not all Play Store apps come with a side of good intentions. So, maybe download caution before your next app! Dive into another blunder as DM Clinical Research exposes over 1.6 million records thanks to a misconfigured database. Was it a cunning plan, or simply a masterclass trust exercise in cybersecurity? You be the judge! Also, the FBI is sending out digital life preservers. Back up your data now, they say, before ransomware hits harder than a Black Friday sale with no discounts. Finally, in a twist of irony, OpenAI clamps down on ChatGPT misuse in surveillance escapades. ChatGPT becomes a noble knight every knight deserves. So, chat away—without fear of unapproved spy tapes! That’s the latest on Hacked dAily. See you tomorrow, where we might just have juicier digital dirt!
