A fake Claude download. Three minutes later, the desktop was empty, the antivirus was off and every password saved in the browser was gone.
Episode 95 features Luke Kiely, founder of ComplyWise and a former law enforcement detective who spent his career investigating fraud, cybercrime and organised crime. ComplyWise is cybersecurity and compliance built specifically for accountants, bookkeepers and financial professionals, and Luke's GrowCon 2026 talk, Exploitation Economy, changed how a room full of firm owners thought about their own risk.
What you will take away:
1. Why nearly every attack Luke has investigated in the last two years started with a phishing link and no multi-factor authentication, and why cybercriminals smash and grab instead of quietly waiting.
2. What IRS Section 7216 means before you put client data into ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude, plus the technical and governance controls every firm should have in place.
3. How Luke sells cybersecurity without fear tactics, with a free assessment that runs like a business conversation, and what firm owners can borrow for their own sales calls.
Luke also shares the insider threat case where an organised crime gang coerced an employee into stealing card details, why the cybercriminals he tracked down were often teachers, doctors and business owners, and his one piece of advice for every firm owner listening.
Eliminate, automate, delegate.
