Welcome to the Identity Theft Resource Center's (ITRC’s) Weekly Breach Breakdown for February 21, 2025. I'm Alex Achten, Senior Director of Communications & Media Relations of the ITRC. Thanks to Sentilink for supporting the ITRC and this podcast. Each week, we look at the most recent events and trends related to data security and privacy. Today, we examine a rise in Economic Impact Payment text scams, also known as EIP text scams. 

I am not sure how many of our listeners have seen the 1996 film, Jerry Maguire. However, I am sure all our listeners have heard the well-known phrase uttered by characters in the film, “Show Me the Money!” That phrase is the title of this episode because we are looking at a new twist on an old scam where scammers are hoping that promises of money will trip up consumers.

WYTN 91.7 FM Youngstown, OH – Scam Protection

Just ahead of the bank holiday, the government released a surprise Spring tax update. Richard Hattersley breaks down the key announcements, including the delay to the mandation of payrolling benefits and updates to the CEST tool. He also looks at proposed simplifications, such as helping businesses integrate gov.uk guidance with their AI products.

As cybersecurity threats become more sophisticated, Tom Herbert shares a conversation with the owner of a small family firm that recently fell victim to a breach. He explains why such firms are attractive targets and reflects on advice from Francis West of Security Everywhere on how firms can protect themselves and respond if a breach occurs.

Matthew Ord explores MHA’s decision to pursue an initial public offering (IPO), speaking with CEO Rakesh Shaunak about why he chose this route over private equity (PE). With few firms openly turning down PE investment, the team discusses MHA’s approach and whether more firms might follow with IPOs of their own.
