"In crypto, if your money's gone from your wallet, everything can be gone in one second immediately."

Most people picture online scams as one person in a basement sending sketchy emails. The reality is far bigger and far more organized. In this episode, recorded at the Safeguard conference in Colorado Springs, host Jordan sits down with Nikita, co-founder and CEO of ⁠Chain Patrol⁠, to talk about how modern fraud actually works. We get into why stolen crypto almost never comes back, how scam operations now run like real companies with engineers and developers, and how artificial intelligence has made sophisticated attacks cheap enough to target everyday people instead of just high-value executives. Nikita also opens up about the human cost behind these operations, including trafficking victims forced to run scams against their will, and a documentary his team has been quietly working on.

We also discuss one of the largest crypto thefts in history, how the attackers pulled it off, and why the weakest point in nearly every story is a person rather than a piece of code. Whether you work in fraud and security or you just want to understand how to keep yourself and your family safe, this one is packed with stories you have not heard and warnings you will want to remember.

"Fraudsters move upstream... We aimed all of our fraud prevention at the checkout. Where did they go? Upstream to the account access."

Ever wonder how cybercriminals manage to stay one step ahead of digital security? In this episode, Alexander Hall from ⁠IPQS⁠ takes you behind the scenes while we were at the Safeguard Conference in Colorado.

We talk about the hidden traps currently being set across the internet, why traditional security scores often miss the big picture, and how the industry is fighting back. If you want to know how your data is being targeted—and the clever network setups being used to stop attackers before they ever reach a real user—this conversation is a must-watch.

Whether you run an online business, work in tech, or just want to understand how the underground economy works, this interview offers a fascinating look into the future of online safety.

➡️ Did you catch the biggest takeaway from our IPQS interview? Fraudsters have moved upstream. They aren’t just hitting your checkout page anymore; they are targeting user accounts, deploying human-like bots, and exploiting stolen identities long before a payment is ever made—meaning that if you rely on traditional post-transaction chargeback data, you are already 90 days too late.

That is where IPQS comes in (⁠www.ipqualityscore.com⁠). Trusted by Fortune 500 companies, IPQS uses a global network of over 10,000 live dark web honeypots and real-time Fraud Fusion™ technology to instantly flag account takeovers, malicious residential proxies, and sophisticated botnets before the damage is done. With fully customizable dashboard risk sliders, you can easily adjust your scoring models for IP reputation, device fingerprinting, and email age based exactly on your business needs.

"Something which is really nice with Visa is that for every problem that they create, they have a solution for it, but you just need to pay for it..."

What happens when an impromptu honeymoon scroll on Instagram leads to a complete career pivot into the world of fraud prevention? In this episode of Fraud Boxer, Jordan Harris sits down with Ben Herut, Chief of Staff at Chargeflow, to unpack the complex, fast-moving ecosystem of payment risk and dispute resolution. From the hidden operational burdens that merchants face during a chargeback surge to the psychological toll of fighting friendly fraud, this conversation breaks down why traditional methods just aren't cutting it anymore. If you've ever wondered how major financial shifts correlate directly to a rise in payment disputes, Ben's inside look from both the issuer and acquirer sides provides a rare, dual-perspective view of the industry.

The core of the discussion centers around the evolution of Visa's Compelling Evidence rule, shifting from its original framework to the newly updated standards. Jordan and Ben debate the strict timelines merchants now have to navigate, the nuances of cross-merchant and cross-acquirer data tracking, and how the massive looming shadow of the Visa Acquiring Monitoring Program (VAMP) changes the math for ecommerce businesses. Instead of relying on generic tech hype, the episode explores how actual data science, real-time intelligence, and post-payment risk modeling can save a business from losing both its revenue and its physical products. Stick around until the end to hear predictions on agentic commerce, changing network protocols, and how modern banking apps have made it almost too easy for good customers to act bad.

"We’re well past the point of just saying, 'We’re going to write killer rules and be fast.' We’re in a different space now—it’s time to grow."

Ever wonder how the digital cat-and-mouse game has changed since the early days of the internet? In this episode of Fraud Boxer, host Jordan Harris sits down with Seth Ruden from ⁠Transmit Security⁠ to pull back the curtain on the evolution of cybercrime. From the "wild west" of manual list scrubbing and high-stakes bank breaches to the modern era of automated identity theft, they explore why the old ways of catching bad guys are dead. You’ll learn why modern security is shifting "left"—stopping the threat at the front door before a single dollar ever moves.

The conversation takes a deep dive into the next frontier of risk: Agentic AI and the rise of sophisticated social engineering. Seth breaks down the "Australian Model" that's actually winning the war on scams and explains why your digital identity is the most valuable currency you own. Whether you’re curious about how AI "cockroaches" operate or want to know how banks are using predictive intent to shield customers from romance and investment scams, this episode is a masterclass in staying one step ahead of the code

In this special episode filmed live at MRC 2026 in Las Vegas, Jordan sits down with Andre Ferraz, CEO of Incognia, and Steven Coates, Ticketmaster's Director of Global Fraud Prevention, to dissect the evolving landscape of Account Takeover (ATO) attacks. The discussion centers on how modern ATOs have shifted from simple credential theft to sophisticated schemes where the account itself holds more value than a stolen credit card. You will learn why traditional security measures like SMS-based 2FA are increasingly vulnerable to SIM swapping and phishing, and how grounding digital identity in physical location behavior can provide a 99.9% accurate, frictionless authentication experience. By leveraging "smart friction" and indoor location intelligence, platforms can effectively distinguish between a legitimate user setting up a new device and a professional fraudster, ultimately reducing ATO rates to zero.

"The amount of investment going toward generating deep fakes is so much bigger than the investment in defending against them; it’s an asymmetrical and impossible challenge."

In this episode I sit down again with André Ferraz, CEO and CO-Founder of Incognia, to explore a revolutionary approach to security: shifting the focus from detecting AI to verifying what is grounded in the physical world. As generative AI makes it nearly impossible to distinguish between real and fake digital media, the battle has become asymmetrical. Ferraz explains that while AI can spoof voices, faces, and documents, it cannot replicate a human’s "world line", or the unique trajectory an individual moves through in physical space and time. By leveraging advanced 3D location intelligence and the ecosystem of physical hardware we carry, such as smartwatches and phones, and how Incognia creates an identity signal based on pure physics. This strategy moves beyond point-in-time checks to analyze behavioral consistency, ensuring that a user’s digital presence matches their real-world environment.
