Nigel Phair – Cyber Scams in Asia: Victim Blaming, Underreporting, and the Need for Change
Manage episode 503144946 series 3637932
Why are cyber scams rapidly increasing across Asia while law enforcement, education, and industry still struggle to keep pace?
In this episode of THEOS Cybernova, Paul Jackson reconnects with Nigel Phair of Monash University to discuss the scam crisis in APAC. They explore why victims are blamed instead of supported, how underreporting skews the true scale of fraud, and what must change in policing. The conversation also delves into the future of cyber talent, the impact of AI on junior roles, and the need for more effective collaboration across government, academia, and industry.
Listen in to uncover why scams are more than just financial crime and how the fight against them must evolve.
