PODCAST: UN aviation authority hacked and the EU fines the EU

In this episode of the Cyber Uncut podcast, hosts David Hollingworth and Daniel Croft wonder if they can fill a podcast with just four days of news in the new year, and of course, they can. From a hacker with a habit of going after big political targets to some of the big numbers of the previous year to geopolitics and terrorist data breaches, 2025 has kicked off with a bang.

Hollingworth starts things off with notorious hacker Natohub’s latest exploits – leaking the recruitment data of around 42,000 recruitment forms belonging to the United Nations’ International Civil Aviation Organization. It’s far from the hacker’s first rodeo, so Hollingworth and Croft go over some of past exploits as well.
Croft talks up the curious case of the hacker who managed to breach the terrorist organisation ISIS. Meanwhile, Hollingworth goes over some cyber incident statistics from 2024, including the fact that Europe was the most hacked region on the planet, mostly driven by the war in Ukraine. The pair also discuss a Ukrainian success story following the total disruption of a Russian ISP by Ukrainian hackers.
The pair round things up with a playful look at a recent case of the European Union fining itself over a GDPR violation, and some exciting news for the Cyber Daily website.
