Expert Jim Stickley provides valuable insight into current cyberattacks, including present-day scams and threats, as part of SDCCU’s Financial Wellness Wednesdays

SAN DIEGO, Calif. (October 3, 2023) – San Diego County Credit Union® (SDCCU®), one of California’s largest locally-owned financial institutions, is going one-on-one with cybersecurity expert Jim Stickley in an interactive interview on Wednesday, October 11, 2023 from 12:00 – 1:00 p.m. (PDT). This free webinar is open to the public, but virtual seating is limited and reservations are required. To register or for details, please visit sdccu.com/fww.

Stickley will offer an inside look into various cyberattack methods that criminals use and detail how to reduce your risk by showing examples of actual cases. He will focus on the most current trends, including scam emails, the recent Las Vegas system hack, phishing attempts, malicious mobile apps and more.

Stickley has stolen credit cards and social security numbers, robbed banks, created fake ATMs, broken into armed government facilities and stolen from teenagers. Fortunately for all victims involved, Jim is a cybersecurity expert with over 20 years in the industry who was hired to perform these attacks by corporations testing their security, and agencies interested in knowing just how easy it is to commit identity theft. His job is to find security flaws before the real criminals find them and help educate people and organizations about what they can do to protect themselves.

Today, Stickley is the CEO of Stickley on Security and can be seen throughout the United States speaking on topics that range from basic identity theft to national cyberterrorism. In addition, Stickley can be seen on numerous TV news programs, is a frequent guest on NBC's Today Show and is the security expert featured in Life Lock® infomercials.
