| Titre | Rapport IC3 de FBI \\: pertes de la cybercriminalité dépasse 12,5 milliards de dollars - un nouveau record FBI\\'s IC3 Report: Losses from Cybercrime Surpass $12.5 Billion-a New Record |
| Texte | The 2023 Internet Crime Report from the FBI\'s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) is out. And for defenders, it\'s a troubling read. The FBI saw only a minor uptick in reported cybercrime complaints last year from the American public. On the surface, this seems like positive news. There were only 79,474 more complaints filed than in 2022. However, that total is much more significant when you consider the potential losses from cybercrime. Losses surpassed $12.5 billion last year, a 22% increase from 2022 and a new record high. That staggering figure is part of a far more complex story about cybercrime in 2023. The report notes that: Investment fraud losses surged, jumping from $3.31 billion in 2022 to $4.57 billion in 2023-a 38% increase Business email compromise (BEC) cases were a top concern, with 21,489 complaints and adjusted losses exceeding $2.9 billion-up 7.4% from 2022 The allure of cryptocurrency played a pivotal role in both investment fraud and BEC incidents Tech support scams were the third-costliest cybercrime category among the crime types that the IC3 tracks In this post, we will examine these trends in more detail. And we will explain how Proofpoint can help businesses improve their defenses and meet these threats head-on. Complaints and losses from cybercrime reported over the last five years. (Source: FBI\'s IC3 2023 Internet Crime Report.) The rise of investment fraud Investment scams have become the most reported and costliest type of crime that the IC3 tracks. In these scams, bad actors lure victims with promises of big returns on investments. Attackers have been targeting cryptocurrency investors, in particular. The rise of this fraud highlights why due diligence and user self-awareness is so important. Users need to think twice and use caution when they are approached with investment opportunities, especially those that relate to cryptocurrencies. Investment fraud losses reported over the last five years. (Source: FBI\'s IC3 2023 Internet Crime Report.) An escalation in BEC threats BEC is the second-most prevalent cyberthreat highlighted in the latest Internet Crime Report. The actors behind these scams aim to deceive users and businesses into making unauthorized fund transfers or divulging corporate information. These attacks involve sophisticated tactics like: The compromise of legitimate business email accounts Social engineering attacks Impersonation scams As more people use cryptocurrency exchanges and rely on third-party payment processors, it\'s increasingly important to stop BEC threats before they reach users. There is also a pressing need for automated remediation and heightened user vigilance to protect against these threats. Vulnerable populations at risk for impersonation scams The FBI\'s IC3 reports that impersonation scams led to over $1.3 billion in losses last year. To carry out these scams, bad actors use deceptive tactics, like directing victims to send cash through shipping companies or online wire services. Adults over the age of 60 accounted for half of tech support scams last year. This amounted to $3.6 billion in losses. Individuals 30-39 years old were most likely to report these incidents to the FBI\'s IC3. The prevalence of impersonation scams underscores the need to raise awareness among the vulnerable populations that are targeted by attackers. Understanding this risk will help them to be more wary and avoid becoming victims. Ransomware attacks Ransomware attacks encrypt data and cause service disruptions and financial losses. They are also a persistent threat. The FBI\'s IC3 received over 2,800 complaints about this attack type last year. Reported losses from these incidents exceeded $59.6 million-an 18% increase from 2022. To understand just how costly these attacks can be, consider the plight of MGM Resorts. In September 2023, a targeted ransomware attack cost the entertainment giant over $100 million. MGM Resorts\' filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission notes that i |
