Why are phone scammers extorting $10M from top financial execs—and how did a voice phishing call bypass Levi’s security perimeters? In this episode of The TechTual Talk, HD exposes how cybercriminals are bypassing multi-million dollar defenses with basic social engineering and caller ID spoofing.  Plus, we break down Meta's massive $942M legal penalty and court-mandated AI age prediction models, the 26-year-old Snowflake hacker facing 32 years in federal prison, Cloudflare’s new Kitesurf browser built specifically for AI agents, business email session hijacking via JavaScript droppers, and the truth about entry-level tech hiring—from TikTok myths and fake resume traps to high-value rotational career programs.
