Hackers aren’t stealing passwords anymore. They’re stealing what makes companies valuable.

We cover:
• The European Space Agency breach and why even elite organizations aren’t safe
• Pig butchering romance scams and how social engineering targets human psychology
• The Nike data breach where attackers stole intellectual property, not customer data
• AI voice cloning, deepfake scams, and real-world fraud attempts
• Why modern cybercrime looks more like organized crime than traditional hacking.

If you care about cybersecurity threats, ransomware groups, AI scams, social engineering attacks, or how hackers actually operate today, this episode will change how you think about risk.

Cybercrime is evolving fast.
Most defenses aren’t.
