This week on Tech Friday, the conversation takes a serious turn as Dave discusses the alarming rise of cybercrime and the lack of prosecution for these crimes. With the FBI warning about bank spoofing scams, the speaker shares a personal experience of receiving suspicious calls from a bank, highlighting the importance of verifying the authenticity of calls and messages.

The episode delves into the reasons behind the prevalence of cybercrime, including the ease of access to personal data and the lack of resources for law enforcement to pursue cases.

A recent article from Chief Security Officer magazine is mentioned, quoting the head of the Australian Intelligence Service, who warns about the threat to critical infrastructure and the potential for a collapse of society due to cyber-attacks.

The conversation also touches on the importance of protecting critical infrastructure, citing the FBI's warning about infiltration into telecom networks and the potential for a cyber-attack. Dave highlights the need for individuals to take action and get involved in initiatives like Infraguard, a public-private partnership that aims to educate civilians about cybersecurity threats.
