Staying Ahead of Fraud and Drinking Every Beer in Florida | Justin McDonald

Justin McDonald is a professor of economics, a true money guy and a rumoured "econ wizard" who has some things to say about your password reusage. His impressive career in the field of payment fraud (and later craft beer and education) serves as a prime example of what you can achieve if you stay away from people like Gary from the Cayman Islands. We discuss fraud prevention, fraud techniques, the role of AI in combating fraud, and the implications of account takeovers. Justin emphasizes the importance of multi-factor authentication and the need for consumers to be vigilant against increasingly sophisticated scams, especially when it comes to camels.
