Refrigerators and CEOs don’t usually belong in the same sentence — especially in cybersecurity. However, right now, both are being weaponized in the exact same trend: the terrifying ease of artificial intelligence-driven cyberattacks.

Welcome to the "Fraudian Slip," the Identity Theft Resource Center’s podcast where we talk about all things identity theft, fraud and scams that impact people and businesses. Typically on this podcast, we’d introduce a topic, a guest expert and our CEO, Eva Velasquez. This month, we’re focusing on one of our signature reports, the 2026 Consumer Impact Report by ITRC, supported by Experian. In a webinar earlier this week, Eva reviewed the Consumer Impact Report, which goes beyond the basic financial implications of identity theft, fraud and scams and explores the emotional and physical impacts, as well as lost opportunities, experienced by victims resulting from the crimes.
