Dr. Marti DeLiema Interviewed on Canadian Radio

Dr. Marti DeLiema was interviewed for a story, on the Canadian Broadcast Corporation (CBC), about the emotional toll of social identity theft. 

Reporter Manjula Selvarajah examined the consequences of having your social profile stolen. 

"I think we're all a bit at risk," said DeLiema, "if we have this illusion of invulnerability, thinking: 'Oh yeah, scams happen, scams are a serious problem, but they only happen to older adults,' or: to people who aren't tech-saavy. And that is just not what we find in the data."
