Sausalito, Calif. – Oct. 10, 2025
In a Cybercrime Magazine Podcast episode this week, our producer and Editor-in-Chief Steve Morgan shares a real-life scam incident he encountered, telling listeners exactly how it happened so they can protect themselves during Cybersecurity Awareness Month.
Morgan, a star security awareness training pupil, who named our daily alert “Who’s Hacked” at WhosHacked.com, didn’t hold back when recounting how he failed to take his own advice and fell prey to a GEICO customer service impersonator.
