Cybercrime

Cybercrime encompasses fraud, extortion, data theft and malware activity carried out through digital systems, networks and platforms. Recent cases show that AI is lowering the barriers to creating malware and running automated scams, while credential theft, cryptocurrency-related crime and social-media fraud continue to rise. At the same time, cross-border law-enforcement and industry collaboration involving Operation Endgame, Microsoft and the FBI has accelerated efforts to dismantle criminal infrastructure. The impact now extends across payments, banking, SaaS and supply chains, making it important to track evolving attack methods, actual losses and the effectiveness of defensive measures.
