Alt+Ctrl+Deceive: Protecting Yourself from Remote Employee Fraud

While employers consider the advantages of remote work in attracting and retaining employees, most are unaware of, much less protected from, the risks of illegal activity and fraud unique to the remote environment. Foreign actors, fraudulent employment verifiers, and dishonest “overemployed” workers are but a few of the sources of liability, data breaches, and financial losses employers have suffered.

Using traditional deception methods and modern artificial intelligence tools like “deep fakes”, bad actors are targeting unsuspecting employers. In this presentation, Mike Coffey, a career HR professional and licensed private investigator, will discuss some of the ways that dishonest actors have harmed employers and practical steps employers can take to protect themselves.
