MFA was designed to reduce risk.

But MFA still depends on
the security of the devices.

If access is approved because
“the right phone responded,”
you’re trusting hardware...not identity.

In a remote, AI-driven world,
that assumption no longer holds.

Happy Holidays from KATSH.ID 🎄

A Season of Connection and Trust

As the holiday season comes to a close and Christmas is just days away, we hope this time brings you moments of connection, rest, and reflection.

While the season is filled with generosity and joy, it’s also when digital trust is tested the most.

⚠️ Holiday Hustle, Hidden Scams

Nearly 9 in 10 U.S. adults were targeted by a scam last holiday season (AARP)

Common tactics include:

• Fake retail ads and pop-up shops

• Tampered physical gift cards

• Phishing delivery and shipping texts

• “Too good to be true” travel deals

Scammers thrive on urgency, distraction, and impersonation.

At KATSH.ID, we believe protecting holiday moments means moving beyond static credentials and toward real-time, privacy-first human verification—so trust can exist where it matters most.

Wishing you a safe, joyful holiday season. ✨

Black Friday Is Coming – And So Are the Scammers
Online shopping is at an all-time high, and so are digital scams.

A recent Pew Research Center report found that 85% of U.S. adults believe online scams are a problem, including 50% who say they’re a major problem (Pew Research Center, 2025).

Even more concerning:
36% of Americans have purchased an item online that never arrived or was counterfeit – and 12% experienced this just in the past year (Pew Research Center, 2025).

And according to the FTC, online shopping fraud cost Americans $434.4 million in 2024, with a median loss of $130 (FTC, 2024).

So as you hunt for deals, here’s how to stay safe.

Quick Tips to Protect Yourself This Black Friday

1. Don’t click deals sent via text or DM
A huge percentage of scams begin with phishing links designed to steal credentials or payment info.
Go directly to the retailer’s website instead.

2. Only shop on sites with “https” and verified payment gateways
Secure websites encrypt your information before sending it across the internet.

3. Avoid saving your credit card on websites
If a retailer gets breached, so do the stored cards.
(387,000 online shopping fraud reports were filed in 2024, FTC data shows.)

4. If a deal looks “too good to be true,” it is.
Counterfeit and never-delivered items are the top scam type.
Younger adults (under 30) are hit hardest, with 42% reporting they’ve experienced these scams (Pew Research Center, 2025).

5. Freeze your credit if you’re worried
A credit freeze is free and prevents scammers from opening accounts in your name.

While scams evolve, the easiest paths attackers use – passwords, text codes, and personal details – remain the weakest links.

A safer internet starts with safer identity.
Stay sharp, stay safe, and happy deal-hunting.

A massive cybersecurity breach at Conduent Inc. has exposed the personal information of more than 10.5 million people across the United States. The attack began in October 2024, but Conduent did not detect it until January 2025 and did not notify individuals until October 2025.

The stolen data includes names, addresses, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, and sensitive medical and insurance information. Texas was hit especially hard, with an estimated 4 million residents affected. This incident is now ranked as the eighth-largest data breach in U.S. history.

Conduent says it has found no evidence of misuse, but it is not offering identity protection services. Individuals are simply advised to request credit reports or consider placing a credit freeze.

KATSH.ID Insights
The Conduent breach highlights the growing weakness of traditional identity systems that depend on storing large amounts of personal data. Centralized databases create single points of failure, and static identifiers like Social Security numbers can be stolen and reused indefinitely.

This event underscores why identity must shift toward approaches that verify the human, not the device and not stored data. When identity relies on something you are and is verified dynamically, there is no sensitive information sitting in a database waiting to be breached.

This is exactly the future KATSH.ID is building: a human-centered identity layer that does not store biometric images, does not depend on credentials, and does not create exploitable data troves. With breaches growing larger and happening more often, the world needs authentication that remains with the person and cannot be replicated or leaked.
