The FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center reported that cyber theft losses in the United States surpassed $21 billion in 2025, driven by a surge in online scams, particularly targeting the elderly. The report documented over 1 million complaints, with phishing and spoofing being the most prevalent crimes. The over-60 demographic reported 201,266 complaints, resulting in losses of $7.75 billion, marking a 37% increase from the previous year. Cryptocurrency scams were particularly damaging, with 181,565 related complaints leading to losses exceeding $11 billion. Organized criminal enterprises, often based in Southeast Asia, are identified as key perpetrators, utilizing human trafficking victims in their operations. The rise of sophisticated AI systems has made it more challenging to identify scams, contributing to 22,364 AI-related complaints that cost victims $893 million. The FBI's efforts to combat these crimes include freezing $679 million in assets and the establishment of a Scam Center Strike Force to address cryptocurrency fraud.
