Are you studying scams like athletes study game film?

Just like athletes review game film to win, you need to recognize the plays scammers run against you. In this perspective-changing episode of the Learn Online Security Podcast, we compare cybersecurity threats to professional sports strategy.

🎙️ Hosted by Tamara Michèle with experts Richard Bankert and Chris Howells, we uncover how most people are reacting too late—only seeing the scam, not the entire attack strategy.

🔎 Learn how to:
📌 Read the "plays" behind scams and cyberattacks
📌 Understand social engineering in real life
📌 Spot red flags before the damage is done
📌 Protect yourself using awareness, not just tools
📌 Recognize pressure, authority, and trust-based manipulation

🚨 Whether you're an individual, parent or business, you're already in the game. This episode shows you how to stop being a passive target and start playing smarter, not scared.
