On this episode of The Protectors Podcast, recorded at the TIAA Fraud Summit in North Carolina, Mike and Mark sit down with threat intel analyst Paul Raffile. When a close friend became the victim of a sextortion scam involving explicit images and threats for money, Paul put his skills to work. What he uncovered led to a massive collaboration with law enforcement, bringing together a wide range of agencies to expose the disturbing networks behind these digital extortion crimes—and to spark a broader conversation about prevention, enforcement, and how these cases are handled. This episode is a must-listen for everyone!
