Welcome to Compromising Positions!
The tech podcast that asks non-cybersecurity professionals what we in the industry can do to make their lives easier and help make our organisations more prepared to face ever-changing human-centric cyber threats with your hosts Lianne Potter (Cyber Anthropologist @ The Anthrosecurist, and Head of SecOps at a major UK Retailer) and Jeff Watkins (CTO and cyber enthusiast).
This week our guest is Ray Blake. Ray is an advisor on financial crime matters and co-creator of the Dark Money Files podcast.
In this episode, we explore the motivations driving individuals to commit such crimes, probing whether it's sheer greed, the allure of victimless crimes, or a complex mix of factors.
We discuss how the lack of direct interaction with victims and the personal rationalizations criminals make facilitate the perpetuation of these crimes.
We also talk about the concept of corporate values and how they may not always align with individual morals, leading to a disconnect that can be exploited.
Furthermore, we look at the responsibility and moral hazard inherent in the fight against fraud, highlighting how cybersecurity often wrongfully blames the victim rather than focusing on the perpetrator.
Key Takeaways for this Episode:
Financial crime and cybercrime are closely related, and the lines between them are blurring.
The lack of interaction with the victim makes it easier to commit financial crime, and rationalisation is the story of organised crime.
Companies need to take responsibility for fraud and liability, and regulation and refunding customers can incentivise them to make the system safer.
Personal stories are key to creating empathy and driving change, and bad security communications can cause rebellion.
