“If cybercrime were a country today, it would have the third largest economy on the planet.”
Fraud is no longer just a crime - it has become a global business with software at its heart. With Fraud-as-a-Service (FaaS), anyone can access cybercrime tools online, no technical skills required, and at a fraction of the price.
In this episode, we’re joined by Brett Johnson, one of the early pioneers in digital fraud. He’s a poacher turned gamekeeper who set up one of the world’s biggest hacking communities—Shadowcrew. After spending time in prison, he now works with businesses across the globe and uses his experience and insight into this world to help keep them safe. We’ll hear about how FaaS transforms cybercrime, what keeps him up at night, and how we can protect ourselves against it.
