    Daniel Freed on Hacks, Espionage, and Crypto Crime

    Daniel Freed on Hacks, Espionage, and Crypto Crime

    After 10 years as a Senior Producer and writer for American Greed, Daniel Freed is a certified expert on white collar crime, which these days is almost entirely digital. And what you don’t know may surprise you. Such as: Having your money stolen in a romance scam is often just the beginning of your involvement; getting a victim to download malware is not the hardest part of cyber theft; and digital state crimes are strikingly similar to espionage efforts of the late 1970s. Daniel is full of stories – and lessons for us all – on the latest episode of 5-Factor Authentication.

    What is Web3?

    What is Web3? We’ve been living in Web 2.0 for a while now, it only seems logical there’s a next step coming. But what makes Web3 different? Why is it even called Web3 and not Web 3.0? On this week’s episode, Hill talks to Jason Levin, a tech writer specializing in Web3; Stephanie Murray, a journalist for The Block covering all things cryptocurrency; and Terry Collins, who covers tech and currency for USA Today.

    Together they will break down the definitions, look at the issues behind regulation, and ask just what this all means for YOU and your relationship with Web3.
