Delving into the dark side of the digital world, Maggie spotlights the urgent need for cyber awareness, especially against crimes targeting children. Jesse Crowe of Wisconsin's ICAC joins Maggie to discuss the importance of parental engagement and using technology's privacy settings to shield kids from online predators. Plus, Dave Schroeder, Research Director for WI Security Research Consortium, highlights vulnerabilities in national infrastructure and the insidious nature of disinformation campaigns. Dave reminds us that in the age of disinformation the goal is not to always separate us from our money but to separate us from reality. As digital threats grow, the call to arms is clear: vigilance, smart policy, and education are our frontline defenses.
