About this listen

 🕵️‍♂️ New Deceptive Minds mini-series: Behind the Scams (Cognitive Heists) 🕵️‍♂️ They didn’t pick the lock. They didn’t sneak in through the vents. You held the door open for them. This week’s issue kicks off a new 10-part series: Cognitive Heist—a deep dive into the psychological exploits behind the world’s most effective social engineering attacks.T his week is all about "The Insider": Trust by proximity. Why do we let people in—not because they’re verified, but because they seem like they belong? We unpack: ⚡ The psychology of in-group bias and “trust theater” ⚡ Real-world infiltration tactics (think BEC, fake IT staff, Slack scams) ⚡ Urban legends and conspiracies that make insiders feel mythic ⚡ How your mind, not your firewall, is the real attack surface You’ll never look at the new guy in the group chat the same way again.Oh... and there are a couple other fun bits in there as well. Enjoy!
