Byline portrait of Stuart Menzies
Senior reporter, cyber and technology · The Fraud Center

Stuart reports on the technical side of fraud: the breach that puts a list of customers in the wrong hands, the phishing kit sold ready-made, the advisory the NCSC issues on a Friday afternoon. He spent a decade on a Scottish daily's business desk before joining and writes for readers who are not technical.
