He focused on leading a team against, among other violations, the cyber-enabled fraud that spiked during the pandemic.

Some take aways of this talk include that when a suspicious email arrives: don't click on the link, it could be a fraud link. Check with your accounts and do not click on the link. If you think you have a fraud situation contact: IC3.gov and don't panic.
An example of Fraud that is active now: Fake Amazon accounts.
