He has dedicated his career to educating people on the dangers of fiat currency debasement and the importance of protecting wealth through sound money & alternative assets. His latest book, The Big Print, breaks down the coming monetary crisis in a way that anyone—whether a seasoned investor or an everyday person—can understand.

Just how safe is your business online? Fraud cases have more than doubled in recent years, while AI-driven scams are only growing more sophisticated. Today's guest shares how you can protect your business. John King is an experienced business executive and IT consultant who has worked with many small, midsize, and Fortune 1000 companies. He has held various management positions including Controller, CIO, Director of Applications Development, and president of his own consulting company. His book The Compass Approach provides techniques for managing a business around the four points of the compass to achieve improved results. Staying Safe Online John is a founding member of TrustedAndTrue, a one-of-a-kind matchmaking service that addresses a growing concern in the dating industry: fraud and theft. TrustedAndTrue's rigorous enrollment process eliminates the risk of individuals using fake identity credentials, giving users the security that everyone they interact with is who they say they are. TrustedAndTrue stems from John's work at The Authenticity Institute, an organization working to implement authenticity solutions in different industries. One of their latest innovations is the digital signature, which requires an in-depth identity verification process. To keep your business safe from scams, you could require a digital signature to access certain materials. Unlike traditional passwords, the digital signature is virtually impossible to hack. Most information security technology aims to catch scammers after they've already broken into your records. Digital signatures could potentially prevent these crimes before they happen. Marketing Across Industries Because their technology can apply to so many industries, The Authenticity Institute looks for entrepreneurs with deep experience in a particular vertical. Those experts become the marketing team, spreading the word about authenticity technology in banking, healthcare, law, real estate, and even the music industry. Each industry has a unique perspective business plan. Enjoy this episode with John King… Soundbytes 16:24-16:39 “If you have a business and you're counting on the person that you're working with from a vendor, that they're legit, right? You may not be successful with that. You may end up with a write-off you don't really want to have.” 22:00-22:17 “If you look at the information security market, it's growing by leaps and bounds. But they're operating on a premise where they ‘catch the bad guys' after the fact. We're saying we don't want to do that. We want to catch you before you go in.” 31:40-32:03 “What happens is one of your vendors gets their email address hacked and they send you a request to send some information and give you a fake number, and all of a sudden, you send thousands of dollars to an address that you've not sent before. And you've got a problem.” Quotes “The key is having an entrepreneur who understands the marketplace and can say this is how it should work and this is how we can bring value to that particular marketplace.” “They're operating on a premise where they ‘catch the bad guys' after the fact. We want to catch them before.” Links mentioned in this episode: From Our Guest Website: https://trustedandtrue.net/ Connect with John King on LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/johnwkingii Connect with brandiD Download our free guide to learn 16 crucial website updates that attract more leads and convert visitors into clients: https://thebrandid.com/website-tweaks/ Ready to elevate your digital presence with a powerful brand or website?

We also know that foreign national gangs have joined forces with US gangs and sadly, nearly 90% of sex trafficking in the U.S is gang controlled. This makes the victims much more vulnerable to violence and exploitation. We look forward to joining forces with our supporters to prepare to take on this challenge in 2025. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/million-kids/support

Online scams affect every one of us, however, some of the saddest and fastest growing crimes in the U.S. involves older people who fall prey to new online relationships or offers that are just too good to be true. In fact, the Department of Justice states that online financial crimes affecting older people are up more than 11% in 2024. There are many contributing factors. Almost everyone, including Grandma and Grandpa have online devices where they can be reached by total strangers all hours of the day and night. The year 2023 resulted in many third world countries receiving 5g high speed internet which gives immediate access to literally billions of people around the world, especially for successful Americans with retirement accounts. And most apps and websites now have money processing capability which facilitates an easy transfer of American cash to foreign countries. We explore the world of online scams that exploit our older population. We will look at romance scams, timeshare scams, sexual blackmail, phishing scams, and scams involving a grandchild in need. If you or someone you know is a victim of an online scam, STOP all communication immediately. Ask for help from a third party you trust. Never – ever give money to someone you meet online, regardless of how much they might care for them or you believe their story. Save all communications and if there is potential threat or blackmail, take the communications to your local law enforcement agency. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/million-kids/support

In this episode of “Financial Crime Matters,” Kieran talks with Chris Ainsley, head of fraud risk management at Santander Bank. Drawing on more than 20-year history at Santander, Chris details how financial institutions like his are fighting the current spike in online fraud that utilizes elaborate schemes to get customers to authorize payments from their accounts into the accounts of scammers. With it now being possible to conduct all our banking, buying, selling and a host of other transactions online, banks are tasked with educating customers about the intricate subterfuges to trick them into authorizing payments to criminals, says Chris. Financial institutions are having “very complex conversations” with customers to save them from victimization. “It's not just “why are you making a payment at 2 pm in a foreign country'” anymore, which often involved a stolen or cloned ATM card that the bank quickly canceled and replaced, Chris says. Now, it's sometimes about engaging a client at length as to why they want to make a seemingly dodgy transaction and warning them of the risk.

Guest: Kris Rides, Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer, Tiro Security [@tirosecurity]On LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/krisrides/____________________________Host: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast [@RedefiningCyber]On ITSPmagazine | https://www.itspmagazine.com/sean-martinView This Show's Sponsors___________________________Episode NotesIn this episode of the Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast, host Sean Martin speaks with Kris Rides, founder of Tiro Security. They discuss the fascinating and somewhat unsettling topic of fake LinkedIn profiles, an issue that has become increasingly prevalent. Kris Rides, with years of experience in cybersecurity staffing and professional services, shares insights from a recent LinkedIn post that garnered significant engagement.The discussion kicks off with Sean Martin recounting how Kris's post about a suspicious LinkedIn account with 28,000 followers caught his attention. Despite having a large number of followers, the account consistently posted irrelevant comments and lacked meaningful engagement. This anomaly prompted Kris to investigate further, leading to a broader conversation about the implications and dangers of fake profiles on professional networking sites.One key takeaway from their conversation is the motivational factors behind creating fake profiles. Kris highlights a range of activities from promoting scams and fake job offers to phishing attempts and even cyber reconnaissance. Fake accounts might seek to gather personal information through seemingly legitimate contact requests or endorsements, which could then be used for nefarious purposes. Kris explains that fake profiles often masquerade as legitimate individuals or companies, which makes them hard to identify at a glance. He recounts instances where Endorsements were used as a tool by these profiles to build credibility. In one case, a fake profile had numerous endorsements from a marketing tool, unbeknownst to the people doing the endorsing. This exploitation of LinkedIn's features underscores the complexity of detecting inauthentic activities. The episode also touches on the sophisticated techniques used to enhance the legitimacy of fake profiles.Kris shares how these profiles sometimes share resumes and job offers to build trust within the LinkedIn community. Sean and Kris debate the ultimate end-goals of these activities, including using amassed information for large-scale phishing or vishing campaigns, perpetrating job offer scams, and scraping data for fraudulent purposes.For professionals and companies, the conversation provides crucial advice: maintaining vigilance and conducting regular checks on connections and endorsements can help mitigate risks. Both speakers emphasize the importance of trust but verify, suggesting that users report suspicious activities to LinkedIn and engage cautiously with unsolicited requests.In summary, the episode explores how fake LinkedIn profiles represent a growing concern, affecting both individuals and organizations. Through their shared experiences and insights, Sean Martin and Kris Rides bring valuable awareness to this issue, encouraging proactive measures to safeguard personal and professional information in the digital age.___________________________SponsorsImperva: https://itspm.ag/imperva277117988LevelBlue: https://itspm.ag/attcybersecurity-3jdk3___________________________Watch this and other videos on ITSPmagazine's YouTube ChannelRedefining CyberSecurity Podcast with Sean Martin, CISSP playlist:
