Greg and Dan talk to Dave Johnson of Pearl Technology about the surge of holiday scams that hit during the busiest shopping season of the year. Dave breaks down terms like “Black Fraud-ay” and “Cyber Crime Monday,” explaining how scammers build fake shopping sites, create products that don’t exist, and use a single careless click to install malware on your phone or computer.

He also highlights why most scams now originate on social media, and reminds everyone that the simplest and most effective - defense is to enable multi-factor authentication on every account.
