Andy Murphy explains common ways people may track someone or their child and how to respond safely. Using a real case where an automotive technician found a GPS tracker on a woman's car, Andy breaks down how you could be tracked.

He also discusses technology-enabled stalking through shared accounts, location-sharing apps, cloud access, family phone plans, and stalkerware, including warning signs and careful steps to secure email first, review trusted devices and recovery options, adjust sharing settings, and document evidence while prioritizing immediate safety and avoiding actions that could escalate risk.

Host Andy Murphy interviews cybersecurity veteran Patrick Coughlin, CEO of Savvy Security and creator of the free ScamWise tool, about the modern scam economy and how AI is accelerating fraud. Patrick recounts how his mother was targeted by a spoofed-phone impersonation/kidnapping scam using a voice that sounded like his sister and a demand for $1,200 for her safe return.
Together they discuss why scams overwhelm even savvy people, how shame drives underreporting, and why seniors are targeted due to concentrated wealth. Coughlin outlines today's scam "anatomy" and describes scam call-center "compounds," including potential human trafficking.

Safety Awareness: Behavior over stereotypes
On this episode of The Secure Family Podcast host Andy Murphy argues that family safety comes from calm awareness, not fear. Andy discusses criminogenic thinking (minimizing harm, entitlement, blaming others), how different crimes reflect different skills and motives, and the role of family influence in normalizing illegitimate problem-solving. He recommends watching behavior like pressure, manipulation, urgency, boundary violations, inconsistent stories, and ignoring "no" over stereotypes, and emphasizes protecting family by seeing intent and patterns clearly.

Ain't No Rest for the Wicked by Cage the Elephant. Written by Matt Shultz, Brad Shultz, Jared Champion, Lincoln Parish, and Daniel Tichenor. © respective rights holders.
On this episode of The Secure Family Podcast, host Andy Murphy sits down with former FBI undercover operative and cybersecurity expert Eric O'Neill for a fascinating conversation about how modern scams really work. Eric explains why today's cybercriminals don't think like hackers—they think like spies, using deception, pressure, impersonation, and psychology to target everyday people.
Andy and Eric break down the fake DMV and toll road text scams that hit millions of phones, how criminals gather personal data to make attacks feel believable, and why AI deepfakes are making scams more dangerous than ever. They also share practical ways families can protect themselves, spot red flags before it's too late, and respond quickly if an account or identity is compromised.
If you want to understand the new world of cybercrime in plain English—and learn how to stay one step ahead—this is an episode you don't want to miss.

Why do so many people say, "He came out of nowhere" after a crime happens? The truth is, most threats don't appear out of thin air, they were there the whole time. We just didn't see them.
In this episode, Andy breaks down practical situational awareness skills that can help you stay safer in public, make better decisions faster, and avoid becoming an easy target. You'll learn why watching only the front door can limit your awareness, how time of day changes the safety of any environment, why multitasking and smartphones can make you vulnerable, and how social media can expose your movements before you even arrive.
If you want to feel more confident, more prepared, and more in control when you're out in the world, this episode is for you.

Andy sits down with Joe Scalone of Yubico to break down why passwords are no longer enough to keep your family safe online and what's replacing them.
Joe explains how passkeys and physical security keys are changing the future of cybersecurity, why hackers are moving faster than ever (thanks to AI), and what that means for everyday families.
The conversation also dives into parenting in a digital world from managing kids' online identities to building trust, communication, and smart guardrails at home.
They also tackle the controversial rise of age verification, digital IDs, and whether giving your face or ID to tech companies is a risk parents should be concerned about.

CSM Bart Womack on Surviving Betrayal and Practicing Proactive Situational Awareness
Host Andy speaks with retired U.S. Army Command Sergeant Major Bart Womack about his book, "Embedded Enemy," recounting the March 2003 Camp Pennsylvania insider attack in Kuwait.
Womack describes the chaos of responding in darkness with limited ammo and visibility, coordinating security, casualty collection, evacuation and ultimately identifying and apprehending Sgt. Hasan Akbar.
He shares how the incident reshaped his concept of trust and outlines proactive situational awareness strategies—trust analysis, observe/listen/report, "listen don't just hear," know your neighbor/coworkers, gut checks, and recognizing signs—using examples from schools, social media threats, and everyday suspicious behavior.

How Your Data Is Collected, Sold, and Used—and What You Can Do About It
In this episode of The Secure Family Podcast, Andy explains how a vast personal data economy collects, combines, and sells information about people - fueling targeted marketing and enabling scams, stalking, and harassment.
He cites examples and reporting on government agencies purchasing access to location data and the expansion of vehicle-tracking databases, and recounts cases where people-search sites were used to target victims. He also warns that old real-estate listing photos can expose home layouts and explains how to remove listing photos from major platforms.

No Bars, No Fees, No Problem: Understanding Meshtastic
Andy from The Secure Family Podcast sits down with Sam Amyett from MAD Gear for an unfiltered bonus conversation about one of the nerdiest, coolest, and occasionally most frustrating communication tools around: Meshtastic.

If you've ever wondered why grown adults get excited about little antennas talking to each other across town, this episode will make a lot of sense. And if you've already gone down the Meshtastic rabbit hole, you'll definitely recognize a few of these stories.

Privacy, AI, and Surveillance with Matt Sailor
In this episode of The Secure Family Podcast, host Andy Murphy chats with Matt Sailor, founder and CEO of IC Realtime, about privacy realities in modern home surveillance.
They discuss a key misconception: with many DIY Wi‑Fi cameras, footage and usage data are processed offsite, meaning consumers may not truly control their data. The conversation covers deceptive opt-in/opt-out practices for data sharing, freemium models that charge users who opt out, and the difference between 'not selling' data versus sharing or trading access, including aggregated geographic datasets that can still include individual contributions.
They also touch on public-space camera concerns, including ALPR cameras and neighborhood-sharing features marketed for community benefits like finding lost dogs.
