The Fraudian Slip Podcast ITRC - The Diary of identity Theft Victims

Welcome to the Fraudian Slip, the Identity Theft Resource Center’s (ITRC) podcast, where we talk about all things identity compromise, crime and fraud that impact people and businesses. Listen on Apple, Google, Spotify, SoundCloud, Audible and Amazon now. Normally, each month, we have a conversation with an expert in the field of identity and data protection, cybersecurity or privacy. This month, we feature a presentation from an identity fraud summit hosted by the ITRC and supported by Socure, highlighting research on how consumers view ID verification. 

Identity fraud has become a national security threat, resulting in $50+ billion in losses, with 400+ million victims suffering the fallout every year. As consumers continue to bring the most essential elements of their lives online, from banking to health care to public services, we must treat digital identity as critical national infrastructure. It is time to unmask the complexities of identity and work together to develop trusted identity processes that change the national narrative and put an end to attacks on U.S. consumers and businesses.

The Fraudian Slip Podcast: How Consumers View ID Verification

Welcome to the Fraudian Slip, the Identity Theft Resource Center’s podcast where we talk about all-things identity compromise, crime, and fraud that impact people and businesses. I’m James Lee, the COO of the ITRC - thanks for joining us today.

If you want to start a rousing debate about how to reduce the number of identity crime victims, just mention the use of biometrics as a way of proving you are who you claim to be. With identity crimes committed using stolen personal information on the rise, it’s a hot topic that often pits privacy against security.

The Fraudian Slip Podcast -People's Views on Biometrics

Welcome to the Fraudian Slip, the Identity Theft Resource Center’s (ITRC) podcast, where we talk about all things identity compromise, crime and fraud that impact people and businesses. Listen on Apple, Google, Spotify, SoundCloud, Audible and Amazon now. Today, we look at benefits fraud. 

The massive fraud that has been documented in government benefit programs, much of it tied to compromised identity, has gotten material attention from both Democrats and Republicans. The previous Administration spent three years trying to craft an Executive Order focused on identity theft tied to government benefits, and the Trump Administration’s DOGE Commission has also started to highlight this issue.

The Fraudian Slip Podcast: It’s Not Just About Benefits Fraud

Welcome back to the Identity Theft Resource Center’s Weekly Breach Breakdown – supported by Sentilink. I’m James Lee, the ITRC’s President and this is the episode for May 2nd, 2025. 

Future U.S. president John Adams was defending British soldiers accused of opening fire on protesters in what would become known as the Boston Massacre before the American Revolution. In his defense, which was successful, he wrote: “Facts are stubborn things.” As was true in 1770, is still true today.

The Weekly Breach Breakdown Podcast by ITRC – Facts Are Stubborn Things – S6E13

Welcome to the Fraudian Slip, the Identity Theft Resource Center’s (ITRC) podcast, where we talk about all things identity theft, fraud and scams that impact people and businesses. This month’s episode focuses on whether or not the suspected fraud decline is real and if anti-fraud tools are working.  

After all the Memorial Day cookouts, proms and graduation ceremonies of the past week, you might have missed some news about cybercrimes, including identity theft, fraud and scams. Just before the long holiday weekend, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) released a report that noted the number of reported fraud and cybercrime victims experiencing financial losses had dropped. That’s in keeping with a report from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the ITRC’s own victim impact report due out in a few weeks.
