Crypto had a rough week on two fronts, regulation and cybersecurity, at once and it says a lot about where the industry actually stands.
Every payment starts with a question: who is actually asking for this money to move? For most of the industry’s history, and human history, for that matter, a human was behind the wheel. A real person answered the authorisation question by typing a password, tapping a card, or showing an ID. That is changing now. […]
For years, banks worried mostly about threats coming from people. Think of stolen passwords, phishing emails, and careless clicks. That threat hasn’t gone away, unfortunately.

Skillful AI shopping agents can now find a product, fill a cart, and pay for it without the user even opening a browser tab. Amazon, Google, and OpenAI have each shipped a version of this over the past year, though all three do not work the same way. The safety question therefore is not as […]
A phone rings. The voice on the other end sounds exactly like a bank representative, a company executive or even your grandchild. Unfortunately, it is not. Artificial intelligence (AI) can now reproduce a person’s voice closely enough to fool even the people who know that voice best, and criminals are using the “smart” technology against […]
