Cybercrime losses skyrocketed to $20 billion in 2025, with over one million complaints filed, according to the FBI. The report highlights a sharp rise in financially motivated fraud, particularly targeting older demographics. Victims aged 60+ suffered the highest financial damage.

Phishing and spoofing dominated attack vectors, followed by extortion and investment scams. Cryptocurrency-related fraud emerged as a top concern, with digital assets increasingly weaponized in schemes. AI-enhanced scams now evade detection more effectively.

Investment fraud caused the heaviest losses, while business email compromises and tech support scams compounded damages. The data underscores crypto's double-edged role: both as a tool for financial innovation and a vector for sophisticated crime.
