About
Episode 51: Erin West sits down with Dr. David Maimon, a Georgia State University professor and cybercrime researcher for SentiLink, to dig into what the data tells us about online fraud, where it’s headed, how scammers select victims, and why our approaches to stopping them may need to change.
Current trends are alarming:
A dramatic rise in home equity line of credit (HELOC) account fraud targeting homeowners with high credit scores
Increasingly sophisticated AI-powered deepfakes and voice cloning used to build fake relationships at scale
The looming threat of agentic AI supercharging scam compound operations within the next 18 months
