My guest is Caitriona (Cait) Forde, Managing Director and Principal Consultant at caIT, a Perth cyber security specialist with 25 years in IT, a master's in cyber security and a PhD underway on the human side of cybercrime. She's also the woman who helped me when my Facebook page was hacked.
We talk about how scammers use urgency, fear and curiosity to override our intuition, why smart people get caught, and why victims so often blame themselves. I share what the hack cost my business. Cait shares the partnership her gut warned her about, and the simple habit she teaches everyone from corporate teams to retirees at her Scams and Scones workshops.
