Listen "DeepCover & DART Academy: Fighting Scammers Through Educating Seniors"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of The Security Repo Podcast, we dive deep into a rather troubling phenomenon: scammers who target senior citizens.
We are joined by Anita Nikolich, a speaker and a university-based cybersecurity researcher specializing in network security and cryptocurrency analytics. She joins us as the founder and co-principal Investigator of DART, a collective of researchers, security experts, game designers, and community-based organizations who have come together to combine their expertise and passion to develop the Deception Awareness and Resilience Training (DART) platform.
We discuss real-world examples, the realities of scammers and cybercrime, and why they target the people they attack. We also get into how the DART collective is working to ensure we raise awareness in a way that affects the most people without being too heavy-handed. Anita shares some free resources to help protect the people you love and tells us how we can get involved to help.
