Auto theft is up 30-50% in 2023 depending on where you live. Why is this happening? This report features the legendary Samy Kamkar. He is one of the original “white hat” hackers. In his words, “all cars use the same wireless technology and are essentially computers on wheels”. Thieves have figures out how to “hack” these computers. Did you know you can put your car keys in an “RF Faraday bag” when you get home? I use these to transport mobile devices and secure them against outside interference.

Why do this? Thieves can use a “relay” close to your front door and unlock your car in the driveway using your key fob in your house!

An arrest made in a #sextortion case? The suspect is in #nigeria ? WOW, just amazing news! Unfortunately charges on these cases happen very, very, rarely. I’m not sure how this will turn out in the end but let’s all be hopeful that authorities in other countries will cooperate with police in Canada and the rest of the world 🙏 This case ended with the #suicide of a 14 year old boy. That is so tragic.

This is a great story and they were able to interview an actual romantic #scam fraudster! Spoiler alert, he’s in Nigeria. I found it very interesting to hear about his reasoning. One thing I learned in my years of policing is that everyone has an excuse for the crimes they commit, everyone… even murderers. #fraud

I think there is great potential for #ai technology helping law enforcement. There is certainly no shortage of examples of #artificialintelligence helping criminals and scammers. Let’s focus on the positive aspects of this technology and make it work! #cybersecurity #lawenforcement #technology ALPHAFOX Forensics Ltd. 🦊

On Monday January 22, 2024 I was interviewed by Bryn Griffiths LIVE on 630 CHED in Edmonton! I discussed artificial intelligence and AI powered disinformation and how it can impact elections in Canada (and the world). You can listen to the audio here (only 10 mins). I received some great feedback so thanks everyone!
