  • The Fraudian Slip Podcast: Mitek Systems & SentiLink – Is the Suspected Fraud Decline Real?

    The Fraudian Slip Podcast: Mitek Systems & SentiLink – Is the Suspected Fraud Decline Real?
    May 29 2025
    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.

    May 22 2025
    Welcome back to the Identity Theft Resource Center’s (ITRC) Weekly Breach Breakdown, supported by Sentilink. I’m James E. Lee, the ITRC’s President, and this is the episode for May 23, 2025. 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.

    May 1 2025
    Welcome back to the Identity Theft Resource Center’s Weekly Breach Breakdown – supported by Sentilink. I’m James Lee, the ITRC’s President and this is the episode for May 2nd, 2025. 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. In his defense, which was successful, he wrote: “Facts are stubborn things.” As was true in 1770, is still true today.

    The Fraudian Slip Podcast: It’s Not Just About Benefits Fraud
    Apr 24 2025
    Welcome to the Fraudian Slip, the Identity Theft Resource Center’s (ITRC) podcast, where we talk about all things identity compromise, crime and fraud that impact people and businesses. Listen on Apple, Google, Spotify, SoundCloud, Audible and Amazon now. 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.
