In this episode of The Silent Heist on Pulse On Cyber, we break down one of the fastest-growing threats in digital security: one-time passcode (OTP) scams.

These attacks don’t rely on malware or hacking tools — instead, they exploit trust. Scammers impersonate banks, email providers, delivery services, and even workplace IT teams to trick victims into handing over a one-time code designed to protect their accounts. Once that code is shared, attackers can bypass multi-factor authentication in seconds.

We explain how OTP scams work, the most common tactics attackers use, and why so many people fall for them — even those who are tech-savvy. You’ll also learn practical, real-world steps to protect yourself, recognize red flags, and stop these attacks before your accounts are compromised.

If you want to stay ahead of modern cyber threats and protect your digital identity, this episode is a must-listen.
