Episode notes
Family Offices Present A Hybrid Attack Surface
- Family offices combine an institutional domain and a dispersed personal domain, creating inconsistent defenses attackers exploit.
- Attackers will invest months to gather innocuous data and prepare bespoke 'heists' against high-net-worth targets.

- Prioritize preventing email compromise and enforce identity verification for any financial directives or wire transfers.
- Treat email and identity checks as the first line of defense to stop fraud before it escalates.
