Series 1 (Shortened Versions): Episode 3



After tough shifts on a Covid ward, Nurse Melissa received a call telling her that her savings were under threat. Exhausted from her work, she went along with everything the caller said, and when she realized they were hackers, it was too late. She’d lost a five-figure sum. Our team of ethical hackers find that she is still potentially exposed online, and there’s work to be done to make sure she never gets scammed again. \n\nThe team also hear the story of ransomware scammer Zain Qaiser, who was part of an international hacking ring that was fleecing people for huge figures.
