Scams, phishing attacks, and ransomware are becoming more sophisticated, putting individuals at risk of losing personal data, money, and even digital identities. So this week on Bouncing Back: The Personal Resilience Science Insights Podcast, host Sabrina Oktavelia is joined by Dr. Zhongtian Li, researcher and academic, to break down simple yet effective ways to protect yourself online.

His research spans climate change, corporate social responsibility, and governance, with publications in top-tier journals like Accounting, Auditing & Accountability Journal and Accounting Research Journal. With experience both in academia and industry, he brings valuable insights into how everyday internet users can navigate the digital world more safely.
In this episode, Dr. Zhongtian Li explains how scams and phishing attacks work and how to recognize red flags before falling victim. He highlights the importance of using two-factor authentication (2FA), being cautious of too-good-to-be-true offers, and regularly reviewing app permissions to prevent unnecessary data access.
