What this episode covers

What is it like to be the target of identity theft and have your identity in turn used to victimize those you are responsible for ? Dr. Olivier Ribaux shares his experience of dealing with a fraud crisis, and the insights that his background in digital forensics provides for researchers and academics both dealing with and researching fraud. Are academics at greater risk? How can we understand fraud in terms of forensic traces? What impact is Artificial Intelligence having on 'low tech' fraud? How could we do better ?
