    The Weekly Breach Breakdown Podcast by ITRC - Show Me the Money - S6E6
    Feb 20 2025
    Welcome to the Identity Theft Resource Center's (ITRC’s) Weekly Breach Breakdown for February 21, 2025. I'm Alex Achten, Senior Director of Communications & Media Relations of the ITRC. Thanks to Sentilink for supporting the ITRC and this podcast. Each week, we look at the most recent events and trends related to data security and privacy. Today, we examine a rise in Economic Impact Payment text scams, also known as EIP text scams. I am not sure how many of our listeners have seen the 1996 film, Jerry Maguire. However, I am sure all our listeners have heard the well-known phrase uttered by characters in the film, “Show Me the Money!” That phrase is the title of this episode because we are looking at a new twist on an old scam where scammers are hoping that promises of money will trip up consumers.
