09 Feb TV Show “Scam Interceptors”: The Intersection Of Ethical Hacking And Investigative Journalism
This week in cybersecurity from the editors at Cybercrime Magazine
Sausalito, Calif. – Feb. 9, 2026
“Scam Interceptors is kind of a unique show in that we basically blend ethical hacking with investigative journalism, and we use those two separate skill sets to try and stop scams before they happen,” Nick Stapleton tells Cybercrime Magazine.
Stapleton is the author of How to Beat Scammers, a self-help guide and deep dive into the world of scams and fraud. He also appears on BBC Morning Live as an expert on scams and fraud. His podcast, Scam Clinic, was described by The Guardian as “a staggering listen” on its release in 2024.
In the TV series Scam Interceptors, Stapleton, Rav Wilding, Jim Browning and a team of ethical hackers use the same remote-access technology used by cybercriminals to hack the hackers, identifying and contacting their victims to try and stop crime before it happens.
Stapleton explains the who, what, where, when and why around Scam Interceptors on the award-winning Cybercrime Magazine YouTube Channel.
