The FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) has released its 2021 Internet Crime Report which found that 2021 was another record year for both victims of internet crime and dollar losses in the United States.
847,376 complaints were logged by IC3 in the last calendar year with total losses amounting to $6.9 billion. As Statista’s Martin Armstrong reports, the most frequent internet crimes recorded in 2021 were some form of Phishing/Vishing/Smishing/Pharming.
2020 was notable for the emergence of schemes exploiting the Covid-19 pandemic with both individuals and businesses targeted.
