Eight-digit passwords are out—randomized 20+ alphanumeric passwords are in. Cybercrime has exploded into a $10.5 trillion global industry, and experts estimate it will double in the next three years. Even more alarming: today’s most sophisticated schemes aren’t just coming from overseas. Local criminals are adopting the same high-level tactics, putting all of us at greater risk.
Mark Hurley, CEO of Digital Privacy & Protection LLC, joins Sammy to break down the latest scams, the evolving role of AI in cybercrime, and the practical steps you can take to stay safer online.
They discuss:
- How AI is reshaping cybercrime—and making attacks harder to spot
- Why simply booking a hotel could end up costing you more than your stay
- Whether data protection services are worth the investment
- If some devices (iOS vs. Android) are truly more secure
- How password managers work—and whether Google and Apple’s randomized passwords are safe to use
