Kurt Knutsson to Host Free Aug. 29 Class on 5 Steps Against AI Scams and Identity Theft

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Aug 22

Summary

  • Aug. 29 at 10 a.m. ET, Kurt "CyberGuy" Knutsson will hold a free live class on five steps to defend against AI scams, fraud, identity theft and financial hacks, with a recording and checklist for registrants.
  • Five core actions anchor the advice: review credit reports and financial accounts, freeze credit with all 3 bureaus, secure email and other key accounts, contact affected companies directly, and report confirmed theft at IdentityTheft.gov.
  • Knutsson stresses that a breach alert or scam message does not by itself prove identity theft; readers should verify suspicious activity, save notices and case numbers, and lock compromised accounts quickly.
  • The report also says paid identity-protection services increasingly pair monitoring with restoration help and possible reimbursement, but consumers should weigh coverage limits and whether the support is worth the cost.
