"After 40 years in information security, I've seen every trick scammers use. I built ProtectMyCircle so your family doesn't have to figure it out alone." — Garland A. Hurt, Founder
Over four decades in information technology and security, I've watched scammers go from obvious email scams to highly targeted, psychologically manipulative attacks that fool even tech-savvy people.
The people I worry about most aren't IT professionals — they're older adults and everyday families who just want to know if that email from "Medicare" is real. They shouldn't need a cybersecurity degree to protect themselves.
I built ProtectMyCircle because I know what these scams look like from the inside. Every warning sign, every training lesson, every piece of advice on this site comes from real-world experience protecting real organizations from the same tactics criminals use against your family.
This is personal. I've seen what happens when someone loses their savings to a scammer. ProtectMyCircle is my way of making sure that doesn't happen to yours.
