ShinyHunters hit hundreds of companies this year without breaking a lock. They called employees and talked them through the door. Meanwhile, AI voice scams drained $893 million from victims, including $352 million from people over 60.

The Fraudfather's Dead Drop

While you're living your life, professional fraudsters are studying it. They're mapping your habits, exploiting your trust, and perfecting schemes to steal everything you've built. The Dead Drop delivers weekly intelligence from the front lines of financial warfare to over 6,000 readers who refuse to be easy targets. Real fraud breakdowns. The psychology behind why deception works. Emerging criminal tactics before they hit the mainstream. Defensive strategies built from two decades of actually hunting these people. This isn't feel-good security advice. It's field intelligence from someone who has sat across the table from the criminals who think you're a soft target. In the war against fraud, ignorance isn't bliss. It's bankruptcy.
