Welcome to the Fraudian Slip, the Identity Theft Resource Center's (ITRC) podcast, where we talk about all things identity theft, fraud and scams that impact people and businesses. This month's episode focuses on whether or not the suspected fraud decline is real and if anti-fraud tools are working. After all the Memorial Day cookouts, proms and graduation ceremonies of the past week, you might have missed some news about cybercrimes, including identity theft, fraud and scams. Just before the long holiday weekend, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) released a report that noted the number of reported fraud and cybercrime victims experiencing financial losses had dropped. That's in keeping with a report from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the ITRC's own victim impact report due out in a few weeks.

Earlier this month, I did something I had not done since 2019: I attended the annual geek-fest that is the RSA Conference in San Francisco, which was dominated by discussions on machine identities and data breaches. I spoke on the root causes and impacts of data breaches at a cleverly titled session on “how to cause a data breach.” As it turns out, my host and I stumbled into one of the hot topics of the conference.

Future U.S. president John Adams was defending British soldiers accused of opening fire on protesters in what would become known as the Boston Massacre before the American Revolution.

Today, we look at benefits fraud. The massive fraud that has been documented in government benefit programs, much of it tied to compromised identity, has gotten material attention from both Democrats and Republicans. The previous Administration spent three years trying to craft an Executive Order focused on identity theft tied to government benefits, and the Trump Administration's DOGE Commission has also started to highlight this issue.

However, I am sure all our listeners have heard the well-known phrase uttered by characters in the film, “Show Me the Money!” That phrase is the title of this episode because we are looking at a new twist on an old scam where scammers are hoping that promises of money will trip up consumers.

Since the dawn of the Internet, links have always been part of the ecosystem. However, they have only recently jumped from our screens onto artwork, walls, stickers, and almost anywhere else in the form of QR codes. QR codes, or quick response codes, are the little black and white squares we've all been asked to take photos of to see the latest restaurant menu. However, recently, they've taken a darker turn.

Normally, each month, we have a conversation with an expert in the field of identity and data protection, cybersecurity or privacy. This month, we feature a presentation from an identity fraud summit hosted by the ITRC and supported by Socure, highlighting research on how consumers view ID verification. Identity fraud has become a national security threat, resulting in $50+ billion in losses, with 400+ million victims suffering the fallout every year. As consumers continue to bring the most essential elements of their lives online, from banking to health care to public services, we must treat digital identity as critical national infrastructure. It is time to unmask the complexities of identity and work together to develop trusted identity processes that change the national narrative and put an end to attacks on U.S. consumers and businesses.

Or it could simply be the thought of someone leaving shoe marks in the living room after not following your house rule of no shoes! A lot of people probably think of the popular song “Footprints in the Sand” by Leona Lewis.
