Rising cyber scams target Ticketmaster users and exploiting emotional connections.

In Short

Cyber scams targeting Ticketmaster users are on the rise, exploiting emotions and rushing fans into poor decisions. To avoid falling victim, individuals should verify offers, access official websites, and enhance security with measures like two-factor authentication.

Cyber scams targeting Ticketmaster users are increasing, causing significant vulnerability to fraud.

The rise of these scams is linked to three vulnerabilities: emotional connections to performances, reliance on digital platforms, and ease of access to scams.

Scammers exploit the fear of missing out (FOMO), particularly during high-demand events like Taylor Swift’s concerts.

Fans often rush into purchasing tickets without verifying the legitimacy of the offers, leading to poor decision-making.

If someone falls victim to a scam, their recourse is limited, often relying on Ticketmaster or other platforms for support.

Many fraudulent websites mimic legitimate ticket sellers, tricking users into entering personal information.

To avoid falling for scams, individuals should take their time, scrutinise offers, and ensure they access official websites directly.

Steve Tcherchian, Chief Product Officer and Chief Information Security Officer at XYPRO joins to discuss how to counter these cyber attacks.

Implementing two-factor authentication on ticketing platforms provides an additional layer of security.

While there are no guarantees to stop scams, ticket platforms must enhance their security measures.

Issues with customer service and support during scams can exacerbate the situation for victims.

Australia’s AI workforce revolution: automation paves the way for a four-day work week.

In Short

UiPath’s report highlights the rapid shift towards “agentic automation,” where AI makes autonomous decisions, encouraging businesses to reassess roles and harness automation for productivity. This evolution may enable a four-day work week and necessitates the retraining of staff while ensuring regulations are in place for trust and compliance with AI integration.

The trend towards work reallocation is rapidly advancing, with UiPath’s new report identifying significant shifts in AI and automation.

Key insights from the report suggest a move towards “agentic automation,” where AI begins to make autonomous decisions. Yelena Galstian, Head of Solutions and Customer Advisory at UiPath shares her key insights.

Organisations are encouraged to reassess existing roles and identify areas where automation can enhance productivity.

A critical aspect will be the orchestration of collaboration between human employees, AI agents, and software robots to ensure effective teamwork.

Looking ahead, the motto for businesses is to “redesign and reassign” processes while considering how AI can handle repetitive tasks, allowing human employees to focus on more complex responsibilities.

As organisations embrace these changes, we could see a potential transition to a four-day work week, made feasible through increased efficiency and productivity from AI.

AI is transforming supply chains: enhancing efficiency, demand forecasting, delivery optimisation through advanced technologies.

Supply chain issues continue to challenge industries worldwide.

AI is increasingly seen as a solution to enhance efficiency and resilience within this sector.

To understand its impact, Jyot Singh, CEO of RTS Labs, joined to share his insights.

By utilising historical data, algorithms can predict future demand, facilitating better inventory management.

Additionally, advances in generative AI further enhance these forecasts by incorporating sentiment analysis and other factors.

AI also optimises delivery routes by analysing real-time data on traffic and weather conditions, thus reducing costs.

Companies, such as UPS, utilise technologies to streamline last-mile delivery, which is the most expensive portion of the supply chain.

AI’s role extends to improving vendor management and procurement efficiency through smart contracts and data-driven decision-making.

This helps businesses assess vendor reliability and make informed choices about allocating resources effectively.

Moreover, the digital twin technology allows businesses to simulate their supply chains virtually, testing various scenarios to identify potential disruptions.

American technological research and consulting firm Gartner predicts that by 2026, 60% of global supply chains will adopt digital twin applications, enhancing their ability to manage complex logistics.
