With more of our personal information online than ever before, we thought that this week we’d look at the subject of identity theft.

Cybercrime cost the world around US$6 trillion in 2021 and in this episode, we discussed real life examples of identity theft and how Brendan once met his doppelgänger in a nightclub. Oh, and we also explain how Sonya went viral before 'going viral' was even a thing...

This is, The Thinking Woman’s Guide to…Identity Theft.
