Course
Detective Daniel Alessandrino explores fraud evolution, from check schemes to AI deepfakes. He will discuss why social engineering remains constant and critical protocols for working with law enforcement during incidents.
From check fraud to AI-powered deepfakes, fraud schemes continue to evolve while the fundamentals remain unchanged - social engineering drives most attacks, human error creates vulnerabilities, and speed often trumps caution. Today's landscape reflects troubling convergence: criminal networks collaborating across borders and voice recognition systems becoming compromise points.
While AI offers powerful investigative tools, it also arms criminals with capabilities at unprecedented scale. The challenge for law enforcement is balancing traditional techniques with emerging technologies while staying ahead of sophisticated threats.
In this session, Detective Daniel Alessandrino of the NYPD Special Frauds Squad will discuss:
- Fraud evolution and why social engineering remains constant;
