Episode one
In the first episode, “The Dark Side of Digital Communication,” you can learn about new threats to your financial security and what you can do to protect your family and business. Join Regions specialists Jeff Taylor and Valerie Taylor as they unveil the secrets of digital deception.
We also feature insights from tech veteran Kelly Jackson Higgins of the cybersecurity news site Dark Reading.
Criminals are typically path-of-least-resistance people and so they’re going to go where the money is and go where they believe the intended victim or potential victim is the most vulnerable. So, if you think about high-net worth-families and individuals, I think one helpful approach is to talk about the potential scams and discuss them with family members. Education and awareness are extremely important.
