In this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde spoke with Tom Arnold, a cybersecurity expert, digital forensics investigator, and educator, to trace cybercrime’s rapid evolution—from early password hacks to today’s AI-powered phishing, deepfakes, and nation-state ransomware crews. Tom explained how attack typologies shape prevention, detection, and response for companies and families; why gaming platforms are the new frontier for child exploitation; and how a near-miss involving his grandson turned him into an outspoken advocate for digital safety education. His latest book, The Digital Detective, is available on Amazon.
