This is Cyber Matters, part of the Kassouf Podcast Network, with host Russ Dorsey, Principal and Chief Information Officer at Kassouf. Cyber Matters discusses issues that truly matter - to us, our clients, their families, and their businesses.
Cyber Matters is not just about code, computers, and technical jargon. Instead, we focus on the human side of cyber and technology, discussing the impact of digital advancements on our lives and livelihoods, and the key points that matter.
In this episode we continue our conversation wtih Darren Mott, retired FBI Special Agent, cybersecurity professional, and the host of The CyBUr Guy podcast. We talk about phone and internet scams that target our parents and loved ones. We talk about phone scams, like the "Kidnapping Scam" that uses AI to generate the voices of family members. We talk about elder fraud and how the bad guys can convince someone to go to the bank and drain their bank account. We discuss how we can help our families avoid falling victim with some preparation and family conversations about the threats that exist.
Darren's podcast is known for its engaging discussions with other FBI agents and professionals actively working in the field of cybersecurity, which has made it a treasure trove of insights for anyone interested in the subject. Darren explains how most scams would be prevented if the victims had just been educated, and the sad fact that in most cases, victims wait too long to involve law enforcement, and stolen money quickly become unrecoverable
Perhaps most crucially, we talk about what you can do if you find yourself victim of a scam. Darren stresses the importance of acting promptly and contacting the FBI and IC3.GOV as soon as possible to significantly improve the odds of recovering your money.
