Today, I'm sharing something deeply personal and serious—my stalker story. For over a year, Timothy C. (we can share his full name soon if need be) has been physically stalking me, and his digital harassment goes back even further. Law enforcement is now involved, but I wanted to update you all in case anything happens to me—so there's no question about who did it. This episode isn't just about my experience; it's also about the reality of stalking, the dangers of obsession, and the importance of taking threats seriously. Stay aware, stay safe, and let's talk about it all, shall we?—https://noblegoldinvestments.com

This week Allan attended the HIP Global conference in New Orleans, which happens to be Allan's favorite city in America. The conference was outstanding - no sales pitches, no nonsense, just many experts speaking on the topic of securing identity.  Entra ID, Okta, AD folks all were present, and it was amazing. Allan got to interview some AMAZING guests from all walks of identity life, including one gentleman whose pedigree includes a rather critical national role right out the White House... Listen in as Allan asks the following questions (one of which Drew answers too!) Why does identity matter? How do we protect the intersection of identity and data? How do you protect uptime (availability) of identity? What should be the single source of truth in identity? Who should own identity?  CISO?  CIO?  CTO? What is the role of cybersecurity in identity? What is the best directory services of all time? How do you manage identity sprawl? Y'all be good now!

TechSpective Podcast Episode 134   There is a lot of talk about identity protection–password policies and best practices, requiring two-factor or multifactor authentication, user credentials exposed in phishing attacks and data breaches, etc. What we don’t talk about nearly as […] The post Extending Modern Identity Protection for Comprehensive Security appeared first on TechSpective.

The Lindell Report - June 24th 2024

A stolen password can be all it takes for hackers to disrupt a life, a business, or the world.    The safeguarding of our identity has never been more critical. Constantly evolving AI-enabled DEEPFAKES are now creating enormous security and safety challenges.   Enter iVALT, a revolutionary game-changer in cyber security.   iVALT Founder & CEO Baldev Krishan Ph.D. joined me to talk about their groundbreaking solution. He is a 2X Nominated “Entrepreneur of the Year” in Silicon Valley with 20 patents.   Fixing the Weakest Link.   Over $170B was spent last year in cybersecurity, yet some of the biggest failures came from the “weakest link in cybersecurity” – a simple phone call by a hacker.   Before iVALT, there was no way to decisively identify the person at the other end of a phone call. Caller ID is easily spoofed, SIM swaps are common, KYC can be compromised, and hackers are highly skilled in just using psychological manipulation to get what they want.   The iVALT mobile app empowers individuals and customer facing workers to demand clear identity on any call (including biometrics) in 1-click. Most social engineering attacks could be stopped by iVALT before any real damage can be done.   Baldev and I talked about the alarming reality of identity theft, highlighting how even seemingly secure methods like multi-factor authentication fall short in the face of sophisticated hackers.   I myself just went through 'cyber hell' when a hacker stole my password from my web hosting site and started buying domains around the world with my credit card. To prove my own identity and get my own website back and functioning, took me one month of pure aggravation! It was honestly outrageous!   Baldev revealed the flaws in current authentication systems and the urgent need for a more robust solution.   What Is The Solution?    “iVALT”, said Baldev, “is a game-changing technology offering five plus factors of authentication." “Our platform leverages biometric data and other variables to create a virtually impenetrable authentication process.”   It seems that with a simple app installation and one-time setup, users can bid farewell to the hassle of passwords and embrace seamless, secure authentication.   With five patents granted and ten pending, iVALT is uniquely positioned to provide the strongest level of identity verification and access management at scale. something no one else in the $30 billion identity market can currently provide he said.   Thought more people should know more about this innovation. iVALT is emerging as a pioneer in shaping the future of identity protection.   Enjoy being one of the first to know about this game changer and meet Founder/CEO Baldev Krishan in this podcast of our live conversation on The Debbie Nigro Show.

They also highlight the need for collaboration between security operations centers and identity teams. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the evolving trend of identity-centric security and the upcoming European Identity & Cloud Conference (EIC) where ITDR will be a topic of discussion.

The Allstate Corporation recently disclosed its financial performance indicators, reflecting a period of steady prosperity. This robust performance is due in part to a number of strategic steps, including intentional enhancements in bond duration and auto insurance profitability. The CEO, Tom Wilson, expressed to investors the company's dedication, noting their solid history of share buybacks when there isn't a higher priority use for the capital. In a bid to maximize shareholder value, Allstate has pursued a two-pronged strategy, focused on both market growth and customer protection upgrades. The company's efforts have centered around rate increases, cost trimming, solid underwriting practices, and superior claim procedures. Consequently, Allstate has cemented its standing across different businesses including Protection Plans, Identity Protection, Roadside assistance, and Arity. As for future plans, Allstate remains ardent in its goal of enhancing auto insurance profitability through detailed rate increases and meticulous cost-cutting. Wilson also touched on Allstate's budding business within California, signifying potential growth in this region. Together with an objective to expand through independent agent channels and a simplification approach via the sale of Health and Benefits business, the future seems hopeful. In a pointed attempt to innovate in the realm of customer service, Allstate plans significant investment in technology. Aiming for customer satisfaction and cost-cutting, the company strives to remain steadfast in the face of market competition. Preserving its efficient capital management and executing a robust profit improvement plan, Allstate has yet to release details on plans for future share buybacks, signaling a departure from past practices. In a conclusive note, the strategic and operational blueprint of Allstate provides ample room for expansion. The future holds potential for shareholders, with solid returns on the horizon. These factors highlight Allstate's role as a stable entity within the insurance industry: a testament made through statements from the company itself during their earnings call.

The recent report by Mozilla, shedding light on the privacy concerns around modern vehicles, struck a chord. Notably, every car brand reviewed, including behemoths like Ford, Volkswagen, and Toyota, flunked the privacy test. This revelation steered a fascinating conversation with Chris Pierson and Ingrid Gliottone from BlackCloak during a brand story recording for the Redefining Society podcast. Our focus veered towards the lurking privacy and security issues tied to the modern, tech-savvy vehicles we so casually entrust with our data.The modern car is no longer just a mode of transport—it's a smart gadget, a data hub on wheels. But as the wheels spin, so does the reel of our personal information, weaving into the vast web of data, ready for harvest by not just the car makers, but a string of 'they' – the infotainment system providers, app developers, network providers, and possibly cyber rogues. The conversation took a deeper dive as Chris, the CEO of BlackCloak, elucidated the firm's mission—shielding corporate executives and key personnel from personal cyber threats that could ricochet back to the corporations.The Mozilla report is an alarm bell, underscoring the high time to separate the wheat from the chaff in terms of what data is essential for functionality and what merely serves as a gold mine for advertisers or a hunting ground for cyber-attackers. This blend of privacy and security, or the lack thereof, is a cocktail we are forced to sip, as Ingrid pointed out the lack of clarity presented to buyers at the point of sale concerning the privacy policies tied to these vehicles.The promise of tech advancements in vehicles is dazzling—better shocks for off-roaders, safety features to prevent accidents during a sudden snooze, and so on. Yet, as Chris highlighted, there's a dark side. Some policies mentioned collecting data about one's sex life and genetic information— a far cry from the basic expectations of privacy.As the conversation with BlackCloak unrolled, the blend of excitement and concern was palpable. The question now is not about halting the march of technology but steering it towards a path where privacy and security are not the passengers but co-drivers.The findings from the Mozilla report and insights from BlackCloak are not just food for thought, but a call to action. It is crucial to reckon with the reality of the modern-day vehicles doubling as data hubs and to steer the conversation towards a road where transparency, consent, and security are the landmarks. I urge you to dive into BlackCloak's offerings to explore how they are redefining the security landscape, ensuring the privacy and security of your personal digital realm, including that computer on wheels parked in your driveway.

Some policies mentioned collecting data about one's sex life and genetic information— a far cry from the basic expectations of privacy.As the conversation with BlackCloak unrolled, the blend of excitement and concern was palpable. The question now is not about halting the march of technology but steering it towards a path where privacy and security are not the passengers but co-drivers.The findings from the Mozilla report and insights from BlackCloak are not just food for thought, but a call to action. It is crucial to reckon with the reality of the modern-day vehicles doubling as data hubs and to steer the conversation towards a road where transparency, consent, and security are the landmarks. I urge you to dive into BlackCloak's offerings to explore how they are redefining the security landscape, ensuring the privacy and security of your personal digital realm, including that computer on wheels parked in your driveway.

Trust in banking hinges on the ability of financial institutions to safeguard identities and keep consumer and business data private, particularly during online account opening and onboarding. Unfortunately, traditional Know Your Customer (KYC) and Know Your Business (KYB) verifications is often synonymous with tedious and manual processes, friction, and onboarding delays. The longer these processes take, the greater the negative impact to client acquisition. My guest on the Banking Transformed podcast is Chris Luttrell, the CEO of IDology. She discusses what can be done to foster trust across the entire customer journey, while improving the customer experience for consumers and businesses. This episode of Banking Transformed Solutions is sponsored by IDology ExpectID® Business is an automated KYB solution that is imperative for any business that wants to remain competitive. With ExpectID® Business, IDology has combined KYB and KYC due diligence with multiple layers of risk detection and fraud intelligence into one powerful, programmatic solution. The solution goes beyond KYB and KYC verification to provide a holistic perspective of the risk associated with both the business and the primary user.

Kurtz CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. – Co-Founder, CEO, President & DirectorI will start today's call by summarizing 3 key points. First, fiscal 2023 is off to a fantastic start. We believe our Q1 results exemplify that we have a winning formula that includes scale, growth, profitability and free cash flow. Second, we saw strength across the platform, including a record quarter for modules deployed in the public cloud and over 100% year-over-year ending ARR growth for our emerging product group, which includes our Discover, Spotlight, Identity Protection and Log Management modules. And third, we are seeing more and more customers standardize on the Falcon platform. The number of customers adopting 6 or more and 7 or more modules both grew more than 100% year-over-year. We believe this underscores our wide competitive moat and our opportunity to drive long-term sustainable growth in both our core and expansion markets.On demandThe demand environment we see is more robust today than this time last year as cybersecurity is not discretionary. Additionally, the competitive environment has remained favorable to CrowdStrike. Our growing leadership in the market is reflected in IDC's most recent report where CrowdStrike leapfrogged to the #1 position amongst all vendors in the 2021 market share for worldwide corporate endpoint security and once again took the top spot in modern endpoint security.Moving to the market dynamics and threat environment, we continue to see powerful tailwinds fueling our market, and we do not currently see any indication that these trends will abate anytime soon. These tailwinds include a rapidly expanding attack surface and digital supply chain as organizations embrace digital transformation and move more workloads to the cloud, the cybersecurity skills gap in a heightened threat environment.Number of modules new customers start withYes. So our bigger customers, those over $1 million, as we talked about on the webinar in April, we -- each of those customers has about 7 on average, just over 7 modules. In terms of landing new, we talked about in FY '22, it's 4.7. And that's up from 4.3 from the year before.Thank you for reading Compound Town Investment Research.

We're smack in the middle of tax season, and that means the tax scammers are out in force. Are you taking precautions? Today on MoneyWise, we'll give you a list of scams to watch out for. TAX SCAMS TO AVOID Tax refund fraud:First, there's tax refund fraud. This usually happens when thieves somehow obtain your Social Security number and file a fake return to get your refund. To make that refund as big as possible, they'll claim a lot of deductions. When you later file your legitimate return, the IRS kicks it back. Then it takes months to get to the bottom of things. To avoid tax refund fraud you can get an Identity Protection number from the IRS before you file. You use that when you file, along with your Social Security number. The fraudsters won't have that PIN, so their fake return will be rejected. It's also a good idea to file as early as possible. If you think you're a victim of this scam, immediately contact your local IRS office, then file IRS Form 14039, which is specifically designed to report tax refund fraud, and finally, sign up for an identity protection pin. Ghost tax preparers:This next one is a bold variation on the tax refund scam. It involves what are called ghost tax preparers. They convince people that their legitimate tax professionals, but they're actually scam artists. They'll prepare a return falsely claiming high deductions and promising a big refund. Then they charge you a hefty fee up front based on those false numbers. Once you pay them, they disappear. Here's how to be on the lookout for ghost tax preparers. Make sure whoever does your taxes has an IRS issued Preparer Tax Identification Number. Scammers won't provide one - or they'll give you a fake number. The IRS hasa directory you can check. Also, beware of a preparer who wants to be paid in cash and won't provide a receipt or one who wants your refund direct deposited into their own bank account. Look your return over carefully and verify that routing and bank numbers listed are your own. The fake charity scam:Next, we have the fake charity scam. This is less common these days because fewer people can itemize due to the higher standard deduction, but it still happens. Crooks set up fake charities and then convince individuals to donate money to it. If you do and take a deduction, it could trigger an audit. The IRS has set upa database to help you determine if a charity is legitimate. Phone scams:A common phone scam goes something like this: You get a call from someone claiming to be an IRS agent. He or she tells you that you owe taxes and then claims that you'll be arrested if you don't pay immediately. Then, to add legitimacy, the scammer tweaks his phone so you see IRS on your caller ID. It looks even more legitimate if they have part of your Social Security number. You're told that if you don't send payment immediately by wire or a prepaid debit card the police will show up at your door. And far too often, this scam works. The terrified victim sends the money. Your best defense against this is education.The IRS won't ever contact you by phone about a tax bill.They use only the U.S. mail to contact you about your return or any taxes that are due. If you get a call like that, just hang up. You can also report the number to the IRS by emailing phishing@irs.gov. Tax settlement scheme:And our last scam is the tax settlement scheme. It's based on the IRS offer in compromise program. That's when the IRS lowers a tax bill when it's shown that collecting the full amount would create a financial hardship. That much is true. But scam artists will cite the program and offer to help the victim negotiate a lower bill with the IRS. Of course, they'll only do it if they're paid up front, and once that's done, they disappear. To avoid this one, verify the credentials of any tax professional you work with by, again, checking their tax preparer identification number in the IRS directory. So those are 5 scams to avoid this tax season. Proverbs 27:12 reads, The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it.
