Fraudology is presented by Sardine . Request a 1:1 product demo at sardine.ai In this episode of Fraudology, host Karisse Hendrick walks listeners through a packed roundup of the latest fraud, cybercrime, and AI-driven threats shaping the industry. She begins with OpenAI’s disclosure that a third-party analytics breach exposed certain ChatGPT API customer details, then unpacks the rise of Kawaii GPT, a wormGPT style jailbreak tool that bypasses safety filters on mainstream models like DeepSeek and Gemini. Karisse also explores emerging reports that scam compounds in Southeast Asia are testing whether AI can replace trafficked workers in pig-butchering schemes, raising complex questions about enforcement, accountability, and global response. She then shifts to the retail landscape, where AI bots dominated Black Friday activity through inventory hoarding, credential-stuffing campaigns, and vulnerabilities in new agentic shopping assistants. Karisse also highlights investigative findings on scammers impersonating real lawyers on Fiverr using stolen identities and AI generated headshots, plus real world examples of employees covertly outsourcing their jobs or holding multiple full time roles by leveraging AI tools. The episode rounds out with broader insights into “scam states,” platform liability in the EU, and why January will be “AI Month” on Fraudology, all underscored by Karisse’s gratitude for the listeners whose messages, support, and Spotify Wrapped screenshots keep her motivated.
