Sally received a large inheritance from her father and thought the best place for it was a property investment. But when her solicitors instructed her to transfer the money for her deposit, little did Sally know that their email account had been hacked. As she sent ID documents and more to the solicitors, she is now worried that the scammers might not just profit from her money but also her data. Michelle and Mavis are on the case to reassure Sally that this is the last scam she'll be caught up in.
When Cariad received a call about suspicious activity on her account, she was nervous it was a scam so called her bank. While she was on hold, she was called by what she thought was also her bank, so took the call. The fraud team that called her was nothing of the sort, and she lost out to the tune of £7,000. Distraught at the financial loss, Cariad wants a complete online overhaul to feel safe moving forward, and ethical hackers are just the people to provide that - with a little help from Mavis and Michelle.
Also in the episode, DCI Marc Cananur talks us through Kent Police's prosecution of a disgruntled employee turned cyber hacker.
