On Hacking Humans, Dave Bittner, Joe Carrigan, and Maria Varmazis (also host of N2K's daily space podcast, T-Minus), are once again sharing the latest in social engineering scams, phishing schemes, and criminal exploits that are making headlines to help our audience become aware of what is out there. This week we jump right into stories, Maria shares Apple’s new AI feature and how it is unintentionally rewording scam messages to make them appear more legitimate and flagging them as priority notifications, raising concerns about increased susceptibility to scams. Joe has two stories this week, the first focuses on two individuals, including an inmate using a smuggled cellphone, being charged with defrauding a Sarasota woman of $12,000 in a jury duty scam involving spoofed law enforcement identities and Bitcoin transfers, with authorities urging vigilance against such schemes. Joe's second story is on a LinkedIn job interview turned hacking attempt when a technical challenge contained obfuscated code designed to gather crypto wallet information from the user's computer; the scam highlights the importance of carefully reviewing code and using secure environments like virtual machines during such evaluations. Finally Dave has the story on a prolific voice phishing crew manipulating legitimate Apple and Google services to deceive victims, leveraging advanced phishing kits, social engineering tactics, and automated tools like "autodoxers" to target cryptocurrency holders and high-value individuals for significant financial theft. Our catch of the day comes from listener Keefe, who shares a voicemail from one suspicious sounding Walmart voice.

Introducing Episode 28: Navigating Sobriety: Busting Myths and Finding Joy Beyond Addiction from Navigating H.O.P.E..
Follow the show: Navigating H.O.P.E.
Are you or someone you love struggling with addiction or recovery? This episode dives deep into the transformative power of connection and hope in overcoming life’s toughest challenges.
In this episode of Navigating H.O.P.E., Dr. Jaime Hope sits down with Jill Stone, a recovery advocate and former attorney turned addiction counselor. Together, they explore the challenges of addiction and the profound rewards of recovery, sharing valuable insights and practical tools for listeners. Jill draws from her nearly 20 years in recovery and her work at a treatment center to discuss the myths surrounding addiction, how to manage emotions without substances, and the importance of connection. This episode is a must-listen for anyone impacted by addiction, providing both hope and actionable advice to navigate the journey to recovery.

Key Takeaways:
🌟 Honesty is Key: Recovery starts with being completely honest about your relationship with alcohol or substances—both how much you consume and how often you think about it.
🤝 The Power of Connection: Addiction thrives in isolation; recovery thrives in connection. Building relationships with others who understand your journey is critical.
🧠 Rewire Your Brain: Recovery involves retraining your brain to find joy and dopamine in healthy, life-affirming ways rather than substances.
💪 Feel Your Emotions: Sobriety requires learning to process emotions, both positive and negative, without turning to numbing agents.
🎯 Recovery is Possible: Life after addiction can be vibrant, joyful, and fulfilling—far better than life with substances.
Quotes from Jill Stone:
"The opposite of addiction is not recovery. The opposite of addiction is connection."
"You don’t have to change one thing when you get sober—you have to change everything."
"No emotion can kill you; it just feels like it might. That’s the work of recovery—to feel it and not run from it."

🔗 Conclusion:
Recovery is a journey, and hope is the foundation. Connect with Jill Stone and explore resources like AA, NA, Al-Anon, and Smart Recovery to take the first step. Find links to resources and learn more about navigating addiction in the show notes!
