Australia’s waters are known for its sharks, but the real predators today are lurking offshore and sourcing criminal mule bank accounts to steal your home deposit, life insurance payouts, divorce settlement and retirement savings. Cybercrime is now the third-largest economy in the world, after the US and China. It's being driven by the same growth-hacking and tech forces that have allowed Google, Facebook and Amazon to take over our lives - and governments can't keep up.

Episode 1 of Daylight Robbery unravels the chilling world of digital bank robberies—the new frontier of crime in Australia. Forget the sawn-off shotguns; today’s criminals use stolen emails, fake documents, and exploited trust to siphon your life savings. From first-home buyers to retirees, no one is safe from this cybercrime epidemic. In the 2020s, it's customers who are the target for digital bank robbery - not the bank.

Australia is under siege from digital bank robbery, a crime where the getaway car is nearly always a mule bank account. They target Australian property and real estate, like the sale of Harriet’s mum’s oceanfront home, where $1.6m was stolen but $400,000 was returned.
