Why Your Family Needs a Code Word
You hear about it on the news too often: criminals increasingly use generative AI to mimic real people's voices and deceive their loved ones out of money or worse. A simple yet effective way to protect yourself and your family is to use a code word in emergencies and other situations—for example, when a child contacts you about getting a ride home with someone else from a friend's or school activity.
The code should be simple and easy to remember, yet unique enough that outsiders wouldn't guess it. Think of a family joke, a favorite character, or a location that holds sentimental value. The key is to pick something that resonates with all family members, making it personal and memorable. After choosing a code, emphasize to children, especially, that it should only be shared with family members or specific people you specify. Just having a code can provide everyone with peace of mind.
