    Cognitive Heist series #5: The Long Con
    Aug 11 2025
    Welcome to Deceptive Minds - An audio newsletter about how we are fooled, how we fool ourselves, and what we can do about it. This one is all about "The Long Con." When the lie moves in next door. Not every con kicks down the door. Some knock politely, charm their way inside, and stay for dinner. In this issue , we explore the anatomy of the long con... a psychological slow-burn that trades urgency for intimacy. Think of these as more than just scams. They’re stories that unfold like relationships... until the final betrayal. In other news: New FAIK Files episode (Video Killed the ...)

    Cognitive Heist series #4: The Ghost - Panic, Urgency, and the Speed of Deception
    Aug 3 2025
    👻 New Deceptive Minds issue: Cognitive Heist series issue #4 -- The Ghost The ghost doesn’t break in. It doesn’t even exist. It just panics you into acting-- fast, unthinking, exposed. This issue explores one of the most dangerous tools in a scammer’s toolkit: urgency. We unpack: 🧠 The psychology of panic and why urgency shuts down critical thinking 📞 Real-world scams that weaponize fake emergencies 🕯️ A chilling tie-in to folklore: the crying child at the door 🐙 And yes, there are tentacles. Always tentacles. The Ghost's superpower is tricking you into moving before you think. --- Check out the most recent FAIK Files podcast: Dark Knowledge & Hidden Agendas Audio version: https://pod.link/1771521321/episode/ae2224ed846ac80ad3c8e2fbc0185087 YouTube version: https://youtu.be/U7447dpffao Interesting research of the week: Sweet-talk the bots: New research shows how LLMs respond to human persuasion tricks Geekwire article: https://www.geekwire.com/2025/sweet-talk-the-bots-new-research-shows-how-llms-respond-to-human-persuasion-tricks/ Wharton School blog post: https://gail.wharton.upenn.edu/research-and-insights/call-me-a-jerk-persuading-ai/ Until next week... stay safe out there!

  • Cognitive Heists series #3: The Call Is Coming from Inside Your Mind

    Cognitive Heists series #3: The Call Is Coming from Inside Your Mind
    Jul 25 2025
    📞 The Call Is Coming from Inside Your Mind Welcome to #3 of the "Cognitive Heists" series. The Voice in Your Head -- Authority, Audio Deepfakes, and the Power of a Familiar Voice In 2019, a UK energy firm received a call. The voice on the other end sounded exactly like the CEO of their German parent company. The request? Transfer €220,000 immediately to a trusted vendor. It wasn’t the CEO. It was a deepfake. This was the first confirmed deepfake voice fraud used to commit corporate theft—and it’s only the beginning. This issue dives into: 🎧 Why voice is one of the most powerful trust signals—and why that’s dangerous now 😨 How vishing, voice cloning, and audio deepfakes hijack your certainty 👻 A classic urban legend (yep—the babysitter and the call from inside the house) 🧠 The psychology of obedience, panic, and auditory illusion 🧯 And how to train your brain to pause the response before the wire transfer In a world where your boss’s voice can be faked, what part of your brain do you not listen to? A couple relevant sources related to AI based voice scams: [PROVED] Unsuspecting Call Recipients Are Super Vulnerable to AI Vishing: (this is my story about having an AI voice bot participate in DEFCON's Social Engineering Community Capture the Flag competition). https://blog.knowbe4.com/proved-unsuspecting-call-recipients-are-super-vulnerable-to-ai-vishing Seeing (and Hearing) Isn’t Believing: My SEC Presentation on AI-Driven Scams: https://blog.knowbe4.com/seeing-and-hearing-isnt-believing-my-sec-presentation-on-ai-driven-scams The FAIK Files: AI Oopsies!
