Comments on: The IDGuardian Podcast: Episode #004 — Why Black Friday Could Be a Red Carpet for Scammers http://www.idguardian.com/podcast-episode-004/ A blog for your personal and professional security Fri, 06 Jan 2012 15:17:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Gary http://www.idguardian.com/podcast-episode-004/comment-page-1/#comment-48 Gary Mon, 23 Nov 2009 19:20:10 +0000 http://www.idguardian.com/?p=332#comment-48 Thanks for rolling this out in a podcast as well as the blog. It makes it easier to get the information I want/need by making it accessible in a form that suits me at the moment. Today it was the podcast. I agree that scammers are getting more and more clever while still using the same old tricks. I'm beginning to think the easiest cybercrimes to perpetrate is types of social engineering. While most of us would never hand over our identity or bank records to someone in person, many people seem to line up to give them to a web interface. How much protection does a middleman such as PayPal provide? Thanks for another great podcast and the great advice. (loved the bell) Thanks for rolling this out in a podcast as well as the blog.
