Why download it?
Well, here are the big headlines from 2021:
Identity fraud makes up nearly two-thirds of all fraud incidents globally and doubled compared to 2020
Identity fraud has often been the major player in the four main fraud types we encounter, but this year it skyrocketed. As businesses continued their transition online, this emboldened fraudsters to try and take advantage.
Fintech saw a 50% increase in fraudulent activity compared to the year before
Financial services had to stand firm against fraudsters in 2021, as they were hit with a barrage of attempted fraudulent behaviour compared to 2020.
Crypto’s net fraud rate is 7.44% and remains the most fraudulent industry compared to fintech and mobility
Despite the huge rise for fintech, crypto is still the industry hit hardest by online identity fraud. As it moves further into the mainstream and gains more attention and more new users, fraudsters look to exploit this and make big windfalls.
Global fraud has increased in the U.S. & Europe, with Europe seeing its fraud rate double from 2020
With so many big numbers, it's not a surprise to see that net fraud globally has been growing, with the U.S. getting a higher net fraud rate than Europe in 2021, despite a big jump there too. See all the number in detail in the full report.
