Kevin Tacher, CEO of Independence Title, shares the harrowing real-life story behind a major cybercrime—and offers a blueprint for protecting clients, funds, and reputations.
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Californer -- On the 22nd anniversary of his company, Kevin Tacher, Founder and CEO of Independence Title, is releasing his most personal—and urgent—project to date:
"Intercepted: A True Story of Wire Fraud and the Race to Recover."
The book chronicles a shocking incident that occurred on April 3, 2025, when a routine real estate wire transfer for $275,784.04 was intercepted by a sophisticated cybercriminal posing as the seller. What followed was a relentless, multi-agency race against time involving banks, the FBI, the Secret Service, and intense legal and insurance negotiations.
"This could happen to anyone," said Tacher. "We had protocols. We had experience. And still—someone slipped through. Intercepted isn't just a story—it's a roadmap to prevent others from going through this nightmare."

Tacher's goal is to equip every buyer, seller, real estate agent, and business owner with the knowledge to spot red flags and act fast.
Highlights of the book include:
