Brains Byte Back

(Previously The Sociable Podcast) The weekly podcast looking at how our brains, psychology, and society are impacted by the ever-evolving technology that surrounds us. Every Monday we bring you the best stories and guests from around the world relating to technology, psychology, and society.

According to 99 firms, 293.6 billion emails are sent every day. That figure probably doesn’t surprise you given the number of emails sitting in your inbox, hundreds if not thousands… Right? But among these emails are numerous malicious emails, designed to trick, scam and hack.

These emails are known as phishing emails, which in its simplest form can be described as a fraudulent attempt to obtain sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details by disguising oneself as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication.
