Episode 420:Hack StoriesCan you spot a scam?
Do you know when someone is trying to hack your accounts?
Have you ever been a victim of fraud and how can you avoid it?
This week's episode starts with a letter that Shawn received from the Social Security Administration. Shawn has been getting a lot of mail lately from the SSA because of benefits for his late wife. However, this letter was address to Shawn's son (red flag), included his wife's cell phone number (second red flag), asked that his son have his bank account information handy (MAJOR red flag), said that Shawn's son had requested the appointment (no he didn't), and provided a date and time when an SSA representative would call him (GINORMOUS RED FLAG).
What would you do in a situation like that? What did Shawn do?
George and Shawn also discuss other hacks, like sim card hacks, and ways to prevent or monitor and quickly catch potential hacks.
