Cybersecurity isn’t just an IT concern; it’s a financial one.

In this episode of The Power of Wealthness, hosts Kevin Swanson and Todd Barney sit down with Divyash Patel, President of MX2 Technology, to uncover how scams, phishing, and data breaches can threaten both personal and business finances.

From fake “free” iPhone offers to cloned devices and phishing emails that look too real to question, Divyash explains how today’s cybercriminals operate and what simple steps can protect your money, your identity, and your peace of mind. The conversation covers everything from password managers and multi-factor authentication to recognizing suspicious links, using VPNs on public Wi-Fi, and safeguarding elderly parents and tech-savvy teens alike.

It’s a timely reminder that digital security is part of financial wellness. Protecting your assets means protecting your access.
