The same tactics that con artists use to manipulate you can be used to build trust. Dr. Abbie Maroño explains the psychology of ethical social engineering. Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1255What We Discuss with Dr. Abbie Maroño:Manipulation vs. Influence: It's all about intention. The same psychological tactics can be used for good or evil. The difference? Manipulation disregards harm to others and exploits fear, while influence builds mutual benefit and makes people want to collaborate with you. Con artists use manipulation because it's faster — but ethical influence wins every time over the long term.Scammers weaponize your emotions to bypass critical thinking. When emotions are activated, your prefrontal cortex — the brain's logic center — gets overridden. That's why con artists use artificial urgency ("only 24 hours left!") and exclusivity ("just for you"). They only need to appear trustworthy, not actually be it, because you'll act before you can verify.Shame is the silent weapon that keeps victims quiet. The reason so many scam victims never report what happened isn't denial, it's embarrassment. Shame becomes its own prison, preventing people from seeking help or warning others. This silence protects predators and perpetuates cycles of exploitation.Short-term thinking is the con artist's best friend. Manipulators prey on our psychological bias toward immediate rewards. Getting $100 now feels more valuable than $150 later — even when it isn't. This "survival mode" mentality keeps people chasing quick wins rather than building something sustainable.To protect yourself, remember that other people's emotions usually have nothing to do with you. When someone pushes your buttons or creates pressure, pause and recognize it for what it is: a tactic, not a personal attack. Shelving your emotional reaction keeps your critical thinking intact — and that's your best defense against manipulation and your greatest asset in any negotiation.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

Dr. Steve Mancini: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-steve-m-b59a525/Marco Ciappelli: https://www.marcociappelli.com/Nothing Has Changed in Cybersecurity Since War Games — And That's Why We're in Trouble"Nothing has changed."That's not what you expect to hear from someone with four decades in cybersecurity. The industry thrives on selling the next revolution, the newest threat, the latest solution. But Dr. Steve Mancini—cybersecurity professor, Homeland Security veteran, and Italy's Honorary Consul in Pittsburgh—wasn't buying any of it. And honestly? Neither was I.He took me back to his Commodore 64 days, writing basic war dialers after watching War Games. The method? Dial numbers, find an open line, try passwords until one works. Translate that to today: run an Nmap scan, find an open port, brute force your way in. The principle is identical. Only the speed has changed.This resonated deeply with how I think about our Hybrid Analog Digital Society. We're so consumed with the digital evolution—the folding screens, the AI assistants, the cloud computing—that we forget the human vulnerabilities underneath remain stubbornly analog. Social engineering worked in the 1930s, it worked when I was a kid in Florence, and it works today in your inbox.Steve shared a story about a family member who received a scam call. The caller asked if their social security number "had a six in it." A one-in-nine guess. Yet that simple psychological trick led to remote software being installed on their computer. Technology gets smarter; human psychology stays the same.What struck me most was his observation about his students—a generation so immersed in technology that they've become numb to breaches. "So what?" has become the default response. The data sells, the breaches happen, you get two years of free credit monitoring, and life goes on. Groundhog Day.But the deeper concern isn't the breaches. It's what this technological immersion is doing to our capacity for critical thinking, for human instinct. Steve pointed out something that should unsettle us: the algorithms feeding content to young minds are designed for addiction, manipulating brain chemistry with endorphin kicks from endless scrolling. We won't know the full effects of a generation raised on smartphones until they're forty, having scrolled through social media for thirty years.I asked what we can do. His answer was simple but profound: humans need to decide how much they want technology in their lives. Parents putting smartphones in six-year-olds' hands might want to reconsider. Schools clinging to the idea that they're "teaching technology" miss the point—students already know the apps better than their professors. What they don't know is how to think without them.He's gone back to paper and pencil tests. Old school. Because when the power goes out—literally or metaphorically—you need a brain that works independently.Ancient cultures, Steve reminded me, built civilizations with nothing but their minds, parchment, and each other. They were, in many ways, a thousand times smarter than us because they had no crutches. Now we call our smartphones "smart" while they make us incrementally dumber.This isn't anti-technology doom-saying. Neither Steve nor I oppose technological progress. The conversation acknowledged AI's genuine benefits in medicine, in solving specific problems. But this relentless push for the "easy button"—the promise that you don't have to think, just click—that's where we lose something essential.The ultimate breach, we concluded, isn't someone stealing your data. It's breaching the mind itself. When we can no longer think, reason, or function without the device in our pocket, the hackers have already won—and they didn't need to write a single line of code.Subscribe to the Redefining Society and Technology podcast.

Cultural intelligence strategist Scott Ketterson joins me for a high-level conversation about the information war reshaping modern society. Drawing on his background in cultural analysis, narrative design, and influence architecture, we explore how power now operates through perception, belief, and meaning. Together, we map out the mechanics of narrative warfare — how institutions, platforms, and state actors engineer stories, shape cultural identity, and compete for cognitive territory in ways the public rarely sees but constantly experiences.We also break down the newly announced AI Genesis Mission — the executive order issued by President Trump to accelerate national AI deployment. Ketterson and I discuss what this move signals, how rapid integration of AI into government and industry will reshape human society and reshape the relationship between humans and machines. This is an advanced, practitioner-level conversation about power, culture, and the technologies now steering both.See part 2 on Substack at https://SarahWestall.Substack.com

Im Mittelpunkt stehen OT-Cybersecurity und der Schutz industrieller Netze in kritischen Infrastrukturen, der Fertigung und der Logistik. Jan erklärt, wie Rhebo Brownfield-Umgebungen passiv überwacht, Anomalien sichtbar macht und warum IT/OT-Konvergenz nicht automatisch bedeutet, beide Welten vollständig zu verheiraten. Es geht um reale Vorfälle aus der Praxis, Social Engineering über LinkedIn, vergessene Assets im Netz und die Frage, welche Rolle KI heute tatsächlich in der OT-Security spielt.Folge 197 auf einen Blick (und Klick):(04:26) Herausforderungen, Potenziale und Status quo – So sieht der Use Case in der Praxis aus(10:01) Lösungen, Angebote und Services – Ein Blick auf die eingesetzten Technologien(27:46) Übertragbarkeit, Skalierung und nächste Schritte – So könnt ihr diesen Use Case nutzenPodcast ZusammenfassungOT-Cybersecurity im Brownfield. Wie Rhebo industrielle Netze passiv absichertIn dieser Folge zeigt Jan Fischer, wie Unternehmen ihre OT-Security pragmatisch auf ein neues Niveau heben, ohne Produktionsnetze oder kritische Infrastrukturen zu gefährden. Die Ausgangslage sind historisch gewachsene Brownfield-Netzwerke mit alten Protokollen wie Profibus oder Modbus, unverschlüsselter HTTP-Kommunikation, vergessenen Druckern oder Raspberry Pis im Netz und verschleppten Updates auf Security-Komponenten.Die Lösung von Rhebo basiert auf passivem Monitoring. Die Software schneidet den OT-Netzwerkverkehr mit, trennt typische von atypischen Musterbildern und meldet Anomalien frühzeitig. Im Rahmen eines Assessments wird die bestehende Infrastruktur durchleuchtet. Auffällig sind etwa ungeplante DHCP-Server, neue Protokolle, Datenströme ins Ausland oder kompromittierte Systeme nach Social-Engineering-Angriffen. Ein Forensik- und Diagnose-Team bewertet die Funde und leitet konkrete Maßnahmen ab, vom Schließen von Einfallstoren bis zum gezielten Nachrüsten von Security.Jan ordnet außerdem aktuelle Entwicklungen wie NIS2, den Cyber Resilience Act und den Wunsch nach europäischen On-Prem-Lösungen ein und erklärt die Grenzen von KI in der OT-Security. Die Episode richtet sich an Betreiber kritischer Infrastrukturen, Fertigungs- und Logistikunternehmen sowie OT-Verantwortliche, die ihre Netze härten und reale Angriffe früh erkennen möchten.-----Relevante Folgenlinks:Peter (https://www.linkedin.com/in/peter-schopf/)Jan (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jan-fischer-a4552b103/)Rhebo Homepage (https://rhebo.com/de/)Jetzt IoT Use Case auf LinkedIn folgen1x monatlich IoT Use Case Update erhalten
This week, I had the privilege of sitting down yet again with the one and only TopLobsta, and David L Corbo (AKA The Raven) of "Nephilim Death Squad". Enjoy this conversation as we delve into the proverbial deep end of conspiracy and parapolitics dissecting the anatomy of a school shooting through the untold story of the Columbine massacre, following the echoes of this tragedy to a much more plausible alternative conclusion.Through objectively reexamining the details of this case we pry back the curtain yet again, ultimately revealing the all too familiar hidden hand responsible for guiding these chaotic events into place. The facade of virtue drenched in moral corruption reflects the cunning nature of our unending adversary, spotlighting the manipulative tactics of these engineers of outcome.Please consider supporting our work- Austin's Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/TheUnderclassPodcastAustin's Spreaker: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-underclass-podcast--6511540Austin's Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/TheUnderclassPodcastAustin's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheUnderclassPodcast☠️ NEPHILIM DEATH SQUAD Skip the ads.

Ian Webster built PromptFoo after watching 200 million Discord users systematically dismantle his AI agent—now Fortune 10 companies pay him to break theirs before customers do. The "lethal trifecta" sounds academic until you realize it's already happening: untrusted input plus sensitive data plus an exfiltration channel equals the security incident that just cost a SaaS company its multi-tenancy guarantees. Webster's red-teaming agents don't use signatures—they have 30,000 conversations with your system, socially engineering their way past guardrails the same way a teenager with emojis convinced ChatGPT to leak data, except his tools find the vulnerability before your users become the pen testers.Follow Ian Webster on X: https://x.com/iwebstFollow Joel on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/3448827723723234/ Check out everything a16z is doing with artificial intelligence here, including articles, projects, and more podcasts.

The Intersection of Espionage Techniques and Cybersecurity Threats This episode explores the parallels between espionage and cybersecurity, particularly focusing on social engineering tactics used in both domains. Hosted by Jim Love, the podcast features insights from Neil Bisson, a retired intelligence officer from CSIS, and David Shipley, CEO of Beauceron Security. They discuss the vulnerabilities in human behavior that can be exploited, the similarity between human intelligence operations and phishing attacks, and how AI is transforming the landscape of social engineering. Practical advice on recognizing and mitigating these threats is also provided. The episode underscores the importance of empathy, skepticism, and continuous education in defending against sophisticated cyber threats. 00:00 Introduction and Sponsor Message 00:25 Linking Espionage and Cybersecurity 01:06 The Role of Social Engineering in Cyber Attacks 02:25 Guest Introductions: Neil Bisson and David Shipley 03:24 Recruitment Tactics in Intelligence 05:56 Phishing vs. Intelligence Recruitment 07:48 AI's Role in Modern Social Engineering 10:45 Building Trust and Rapport in Intelligence 16:19 Ethical Considerations in Intelligence Work 20:01 Future of Cybersecurity and Social Engineering 24:31 The Art of Subtle Manipulation 26:01 Clandestine Tactics and Voluntary Information 26:24 Incremental Trust Building 26:46 Psychological Manipulation and Cult Recruitment 27:34 Human Connection and Vulnerability 28:53 AI and Social Engineering 30:25 The Threat of AI in Recruitment 33:20 Emotional Manipulation in Espionage 36:19 Defending Against Manipulation 38:12 Empathy and Information as Defense 45:49 Final Thoughts and Audience Engagement
Episode 592: Whether or not you realize it, powerful globalist forces are using whatever means they can to enslave all of humanity. Using technology that is rapidly developing, they are creating a digital panopticon in which everyone and everything, will be tracked and traced. This is how they are doing it…
In this powerful episode of Scam Rangers, Ayelet Biger-Levin sits down with scam psychology expert Martina Dove to dive deep into the psychology of scams. Martina shares her insights on the psychological tactics used by scammers and the most effective methods for prevention and intervention.The conversation dives deep into the origins of Martina's research, which began with her interest in the Barnum effect , a phenomenon where people accept vague feedback as true when it applies to everyone. Barnum, an 1800s magician, even wrote a book on scams that are still in operation today, like romance scams and lotteries. Martina emphasizes that scams are now a "product that caters for everyone", as vulnerability depends on individual circumstances and personality, not IQ.Key Takeaways: The Scam Lifecycle and Psychology The Scammer's Hook: Scams, which now feature excellent grammar due to AI, prey on either opportunity (like job or romance scams) or fear (like sextortion). Once a victim responds to the initial communication, it's difficult to stop engaging. Grooming: A "Wear-Down" Process: Scams that go on for a long time—like pig butchering—evoke multiple visceral influences, starting with excitement and then inducing anxiety and fear of loss. The scammer will subtly withdraw or use verbal abuse if the victim does not comply. This wear-down period, which can last months, can cause victims to lose executive functions, affecting their memory and decision-making. Targeting Trust: Scammers groom victims to distrust their bank by teaching them that the bank will try to stop them, or by creating elaborate stories, such as a regulator investigating internal fraud. By the time the bank intervenes, the victim is a "worn out person" who truly believes the scammer's narrative. Effective Intervention: Empathy is Key: Authoritarian warnings, like "Don't panic" or "Never click links," are proven not to work, as they trigger a physiological reaction and make people switch off. Instead, interventions—especially from "Break the Spell" teams—need to be conversational and empathetic. Martina suggests asking the victim to simply "stall" the transfer, which often causes the scammer to escalate pressure, providing a warning sign to the victim.You can find more about Martina on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martina-dove/A link to her book: https://www.routledge.com/The-Psychology-of-Fraud-Persuasion-and-Scam-Techniques-Understanding-What-Makes-Us-Vulnerable/Dove/p/book/9781032953908This podcast is hosted by Ayelet Biger-Levin, who has spent the last 15 years building technology to help financial institutions authenticate their customers and identify fraud.

In this special live episode of the Shift AI Podcast recorded at Seattle AI Week, Dr. Andre Alfred, who leads threat operations and security for Google Cloud's Fortune 500 customers, joins host Boaz Ashkenazy for an eye-opening conversation about the intersection of AI and cybersecurity. With his remarkable journey from high school help desk operator to earning his PhD and leading security operations at Microsoft, Oracle, and Google, Andre brings a unique perspective on protecting critical infrastructure in an era where adversaries have access to the same powerful AI tools as defenders.From data poisoning threats that could compromise healthcare diagnostics to the challenges of securing physical infrastructure like water systems and power grids, Andre shares what keeps him up at night and why two-factor authentication isn't optional anymore. The conversation explores how AI is transforming both offensive and defensive capabilities in cybersecurity, why the next generation of jobs will be defined by leaders rather than technology, and Andre's commitment to visibility as an African American leader in tech. Through his scholarship program at Western Governors University, Andre is opening pathways for the next generation of cybersecurity and healthcare professionals. If you're wondering about the real security threats we're not thinking about—and why the future of work requires "more focus"—this conversation offers crucial insights from someone defending some of the world's most critical systems.Chapters[00:00] Introduction and Boaz's Journey to the Shift AI Podcast [02:37] Andre's Background and Role at Google Cloud Security [03:44] The Non-Traditional Path: From Help Desk to PhD [06:25] The Decision to Return to College and Transform Your Career [08:41] From Capital One to Microsoft to Google [12:03] What It's Like to Wake Up Every Morning in Threat Operations [14:21] The Bittersweet Reality: When Innovation Can Be Weaponized [15:31] Data Poisoning and Healthcare: The Threat We're Not Thinking About [18:37] Teaching Kids to Question What They See Online [20:06] Physical Infrastructure Vulnerabilities and Social Engineering [24:09] The Future of AI and Cybersecurity in 2030 [26:24] Creating Jobs of the Future Through Education [29:41] The Intersection of Cybersecurity and Healthcare [32:29] Leaders Must Define the Next Jobs, Not Let Technology Define Them [33:36] Being Visible as an African American in Tech [36:11] Two Words for the Future: "More Focus"Connect with Dr. Andre Alfred LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aoalfred/Connect with Boaz Ashkenazy LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/boazashkenazy Email: info@shiftai.fmSpecial thank you to Western Governers University for hosting and sponsoring this live episode at the Labor Temple in Seattle WA during AI Week.

This episode is sponsored by HYPR. Visit hypr.com/idac to learn more.In this episode from Authenticate 2025, Jim McDonald and Jeff Steadman are joined by Bojan Simic, Co-Founder and CEO of HYPR, for a sponsored discussion on the evolving landscape of identity and security.Bojan shares his journey from software engineer to cybersecurity leader and dives into the core mission of HYPR: providing fast, consistent, and secure identity controls that complement existing investments. The conversation explores the major themes from the conference, including the push for passkey adoption at scale and the challenge of securely authenticating AI agents.A key focus of the discussion is the concept of "Know Your Employee" (KYE) in a continuous manner, a critical strategy for today's remote and hybrid workforces. Bojan explains how the old paradigm of one-time verification is failing, especially in the face of sophisticated, AI-powered social engineering attacks like those used by Scattered Spider. They discuss the issue of "identity sprawl" across multiple IDPs and why consolidation isn't always the answer. Instead, Bojan advocates for a flexible, best-of-breed approach that provides a consistent authentication experience and leverages existing security tools.Connect with Bojan: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bojansimic/Learn more about HYPR: https://www.hypr.com/idacConnect with us on LinkedIn:Jim McDonald: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimmcdonaldpmp/Jeff Steadman: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffsteadman/Visit the show on the web at idacpodcast.comChapter Timestamps:00:00 - Introduction at Authenticate 202500:23 - Sponsored Episode Welcome: Bojan Simic, CEO of HYPR01:11 - How Bojan Simic Got into Identity and Cybersecurity02:10 - The Elevator Pitch for HYPR04:03 - The Buzz at Authenticate 2025: Passkeys and Securing AI Agents05:29 - The Trend of Continuous "Know Your Employee" (KYE)07:33 - Is Your MFA Program Enough Anymore?09:44 - Hackers Don't Break In, They Log In: The Scattered Spider Threat11:19 - How AI is Scaling Social Engineering Attacks Globally13:08 - When a Breach Happens, Who's on the Hook?

My guest today is Dan Wang. Dan is a technology analyst and author who spent six years living in China studying its manufacturing ecosystem and tech development, best known for his new book Breakneck. Dan offers the most nuanced framework I've encountered for understanding US-China competition. We explore a critical asymmetry: it's far harder for the US to rebuild manufacturing capacity than for China to improve scientific research, with profound implications for AI, national security, and investment returns. For investors, Dan explains the "ByteDance problem"—why exceptional Chinese companies trade at massive discounts due to Communist Party unpredictability and geopolitical risks. He argues China is a "high agency" society that executes relentlessly while America deliberates endlessly, yet also reveals the societal cost. We discuss innovation, state capacity, and investing across both superpowers. Please enjoy my conversation with Dan Wang.

Mary welcomes first time guest to the podcast Pastor/Dr. Richard Schmidt to discuss current events. Richard has been an avid student of the Word of God for over 45 years. After giving his life to Christ during a Chicago revival meeting, he immediately immersed himself into evangelism and the study of Scripture, graduating with both a B.S. and M.A. in Pastoral Theology/Christian Education. Early in his ministry, Rich traveled with Evangelist Joe Boyd and preached in various churches and venues, including Chicago's Pacific Garden Mission. Upon college graduation and ordination, Rich and his wife, Valori, moved to Milwaukee, WI to church plant. After the church plant was successfully merged with another, Rich joined the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office to support his young family, while simultaneously serving as an Assistant Pastor. He is currently the pastor of Union Grove Baptist Church just south of Milwaukee and an in-demand speaker. Today we chat about the rampant lawlessness in our nation and how we got here politically and prophetically. We also look at the current peace initiative in Israel, and what are we to expect when there's a victory lap going on, but we all know that Israel's enemies haven't truly had a change of heart. We talk about AI, and its troubling encroachment into Europe. China we expect to be a police state, but why are other nations looking so similar? A full hour with a very sharp brother in Christ.
