Cyber Fraud: Simple Ways to Reduce Your Vulnerability
Today’s cybercriminals aren’t just after your email password, they’re going after life savings. And their methods are alarmingly effective.
Join us for an eye-opening Prosperion EDU session on Cyber Fraud Literacy, led by cybersecurity veteran Ed Bassett. With decades of experience protecting institutions and individuals alike, Ed demonstrates how modern scams are engineered to bypass logic, exploit trust, and trigger fear-based decision-making in even the most careful among us.
Whether you’re managing your own tech or helping aging parents or friends stay safe, this session will help you recognize red flags and take practical steps to protect what matters most.
In this EDU session you’ll learn:
- The latest “phantom hacker” and tech-support scams
- How today’s schemes target older, affluent victims using social tactics, not tech loopholes
- Simple ways to reduce your vulnerability (and help protect loved ones)
- What to do after a scam attempt, including key recovery steps
- How to establish a personal “buddy system” that helps stop an evolving scam
If you’ve ever said, “I’d never fall for something like that,” this video is for you. The truth is, these scams are designed to succeed in moments of stress and urgency. Awareness and preparation are key for detection and prevention.
