Human trafficking is one of the most terrible crimes imaginable. And, yet, the magnitude of it is so overwhelming that it can feel nearly impossible to tackle. But, what if there was a way to flip this problem on its head?

Exploitation exposed: Modern slavery matters 36:35

This episode includes accounts of physical, mental, and sexual abuse, stemming from modern slavery and human trafficking. These topics may be distressing for some individuals. Listener discretion is advised. In the making of "The Infinite Game," Moody's docuseries, a wealth of expert interviews were conducted, however due to the time constraints and narrative of the piece some interviews were regrettably cut during the final edit. Justine Carter’s illuminating interview on combating human trafficking and modern slavery was one of these, but we're delighted to now bring it the KYC Decoded audience as a special episode where listeners can learn from Justine's solo narrative that offers a deep dive into the entwined realities of human trafficking, financial crime, and their impacts. Key topics she discusses include: The current state and scope of modern slavery laws and regulations An overview of the various forms of human exploitation The significance of supply chain oversight and ethical business practices Sharing the harrowing experiences faced by victims of modern slavery The need for unified efforts across industries to effectively address this issue The role of technological innovations in combating modern slavery Check out these additional resources: Visit Unseen UK’s website Watch The Infinite Game Docuseries To discover how Moody’s can assist your organization in understanding and monitoring risks linked to modern slavery, forced labor, and human trafficking, visit our website or get in touch .

The positioning of “traditional” KYC against new and emerging methodologies creates opportunities to assess the most effective processes and technologies used to prevent financial crime.

From social media account information to password creation to IP addresses, the digital footprint we create grows larger every time we go online – and it is virtually impossible to avoid. At the same time, sophisticated criminals can capture this wealth of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and create synthetic identities to commit crimes like fraud, money laundering, illegal weapons dealing, and more. Although scary, the first thing we can do to combat this criminal behavior is learn about it. So, we are excited to share the mic with Constella's experts, Jason Wagner , Vice President of Identity & Digital Intelligence, and Dan Mathews , Director of Worldwide Sales Engineering. You do not want to miss this incredibly engaging and knowledgeable conversation with host, Alex Pillow, asking hard-hitting questions like: What is a synthetic identity? What threats do synthetic identities pose to the financial sector at large? How are criminals stealing data? What populations and kinds of businesses are most vulnerable to the risks associated with synthetic identities? What are “ghosts” in the context of synthetic identities, and how can they attack businesses? How is AI changing the landscape of creating synthetic identities?
