Joining us this week is Jennifer Cook, Senior Director of Marketing at the National Cybersecurity Alliance and we discuss all the hot and trending online scams facing consumers today including the growing prevalence of romance scams ($1.3B in losses last year!), job seeker scams, tax fraud scams, sextortion, and the latest scam making the rounds – pig butchering scams. Jennifer shares insights on the many free resources available to consumers – and the awesome work being done by the National Cybersecurity Alliance working with partners and champions around the globe – that raise awareness of what to look for and how to avoid online and mobile scams that take advantage of our day-to-day engagement channels including email, social media and, increasingly, mobile text messages.
