About this episode
The episode discusses phishing scams and how to protect oneself from them.
The final episode of Wallet Watch Season 13 is here, and it’s all about one of the most common forms of cyber security fraud: phishing. In the newest episode titled “Phishing 101: Don’t Take the Bait,” host Jessica Rubio speaks with Erin Landis, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) from MSU Federal Credit Union, about how phishing scams are evolving — and how you can protect yourself. Erin shares insights into the personal and corporate risks of phishing, how AI is making scams more convincing, and the top red flag of urgency to watch for. If a message pushes you to act fast, slow down — it could be a trap. To wrap the season up, the message is clear. The more we educate ourselves, the better equipped we are to outsmart fraudsters.
