Frequency Holdings CEO Details $1 Billion Text Scam Threat on National Television

Frequency Holdings CEO Rick Jordan appeared on NewsNation Prime to analyze a Wall Street Journal report detailing a $1 billion nationwide text message scam that has defrauded Americans through fake toll notifications and other mobile fraud schemes. The six-minute segment, unusually long for national broadcast interviews, featured Jordan as the leading cybersecurity expert explaining how human behavior, social engineering, and geo-targeted "smishing" attacks have become more sophisticated than ever.

"Cybersecurity today isn't just about firewalls or software, it's about human awareness," said Jordan during the interview, which can be viewed at https://www.newsnationprime.com. "These criminal groups operate like corporations, using precision targeting, grammar-checked messages, and emotional triggers to manipulate people. My mission, and ReachOut's, is to protect Americans and small businesses from exactly this kind of threat."

Jordan called for stronger accountability from major mobile carriers and greater consumer choice in mobile protection services, stating he would "gladly pay a few dollars a month to stop these attacks before they ever reach a phone." This position reflects growing concerns about the responsibility of telecommunications companies in preventing fraudulent messages from reaching consumers' devices.

The national appearance continues Jordan's ongoing presence across major U.S. media outlets including Bloomberg, FOX Business, Cheddar, CBS News, and NewsNation, where producers frequently invite him to explain complex cybersecurity issues for general audiences. His expertise has positioned him as a go-to commentator for translating emerging cyber threats into actionable insights for both consumers and enterprises.

"Being trusted by national networks to interpret billion-dollar cyber issues is a reflection of the same trust our clients place in us," Jordan added. "Every public appearance strengthens the Frequency and ReachOut brands as reliable defenders in a digital world that's getting noisier - and more dangerous - by the day."

The $1 billion scam represents one of the largest text-based fraud operations in recent history, targeting Americans through sophisticated social engineering tactics that exploit human psychology rather than technical vulnerabilities. Jordan's plainspoken approach and long-form network segments have helped elevate Frequency Holdings' and ReachOut Digital Intelligence's visibility as credible forces in cybersecurity, compliance, and AI-driven digital defense.

This coverage comes at a critical time when text message scams have evolved beyond simple phishing attempts into highly organized criminal operations that mimic legitimate business communications. The sophistication of these attacks, including their use of geographic targeting and professionally crafted messages, demonstrates the need for both technological solutions and increased public awareness about digital security threats.
