The FBI's Cyber Program and current cyber threat landscape

Today we welcome the FBI Supervisory Special Agent Ben Meyer for an overview on cyber crime in San Diego and beyond. The FBI San Diego Field Office is fresh off the the seizure and shut down of a web domain used to defraud Americans through cryptocurrency investment-fraud scams. According to the Dec. 4 edition of the San Diego Union-Tribune, more than 400 San Diegans were among the victims of Southeast Asia-based criminal enterprise, suffering an estimated cumulative loss of roughly $90 million in fiscal 2024. The paper notes: "However, federal investigators said they believe that figure to be a fraction of the total scope of losses, given that many victims do not report their losses to law enforcement." Join us for this important discussion of cyber crime - which, as we have just seen -can impact all of us.
