According to the FBI’s IC3 report, the digital fraud landscape is worsening fast:

🔹 Business email compromise (BEC) caused $2.7B in losses
🔹 Tech support scams added another $1.4B hit

Key trends:
👴 Seniors (60+) lost the most — $4.8B total, with an average loss of $83K
🧑 💻 Cryptocurrency was the most common payment method in frauds
