Surge in scams, and Springsteen annoys Trump

from Behind the Story · host RTÉ News

The latest garda figures have shown a surge in online fraud, as more fake websites, ticket hoaxes, and phishing texts are popping up. Fran and David are joined by Aengus Cox to go through what authorities say they are seeing, and how banks and tech companies are reacting to it. The team also take a look at the Donald Trump v Bruce Springsteen saga, as the veteran rockstar has been taking aim at the administration while on his European tour. It seems the Boss has touched some nerves in the White House and with Trump, who has since threatened a “major investigation” into the “dried out prune of a rocker”. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
