Thoughts On Tech & Things

Do Hackers Hack Computers or People?


Listen Later

Host Jason Michael Perry
sits down with Tina Williams-Koroma, founder and CEO of
CyDeploy and
TCecure, to explore a simple but unsettling question:
do hackers hack computers — or do they hack people?

In this episode, they dig into how social engineering, AI-generated content, and human psychology
have become the primary attack surface for modern cyber threats. From deepfakes and impersonation
scams to spyware targeting journalists and activists, Tina explains why cybersecurity today is less
about breaking code and more about breaking trust — and how businesses and families can prepare for
the scenarios no system is ever fully trained to handle.
