257: Overcoming Accidental Accomplice to Fraud | Feedback Friday

Jenny Radcliffe (@Jenny_Radcliffe) of Human Factor Security is an ethical social engineer hired to smash security measures using psychology, con-artistry, subliminal linguistics, cunning, and guile. She is also the host of award-winning podcast The Human Factor. What We Discuss with Jenny Radcliffe: How a childhood incident that took place in '70s Liverpool led to Jenny's resolution that she would never again allow herself to be helpless against bad people. What a thrilling break-in to the local zoo's lion exhibit in the middle of the night and an accidental sleepover in a mortuary with a dead body taught Jenny about the illusion of security. How breaking into places to test security for people went from being a side hustle (with assignments that may or may not have been legitimate or free of life-risking consequences) to Jenny's main calling. The strange, supernatural-seeming things someone might experience while alone in massive buildings after hours or asylums abandoned to the elements. What it was like to track people before the Internet, how social media made Jenny's job exponentially easier, and what you can do to protect yourself against being tracked. And much more...

"If a decision is reversible, the biggest risk is moving too slow.

This is part two of a two-part episode. Check out part one here! What We Discuss with Anthony S. Luciano Raimondi: The joke Anthony told to distract the bodyguard of an African drug lord he was sent to dispose of in Nigeria. How young Anthony came to the startling discovery that his father wasn't a longshoreman, but an assassin in the mob. Why Anthony likes animals a lot more than he likes people. What happened to people in Anthony's organization who unwisely brought attention to their part in the infamous Lufthansa heist by overspending.

Luciano Raimondi was born into the world of organized crime, spent much of his life as a mob enforcer, has played part in heists and assassinations, and is the author of When the Bullet Hits the Bone. What We Discuss with Anthony S. Luciano Raimondi: What was the Black Hand, and how did it differ from what we think of today as the Mafia?
