The federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) reported a significant rise in cryptocurrency investment fraud losses in 2023. According to their Internet Crime Report, losses jumped to $3.94 billion, a 53% increase compared to 2022.
This surge highlights the growing problem of criminals exploiting the cryptocurrency market. Scammers lure victims with promises of high returns, resulting in substantial financial losses.
The FBI's report also reveals an overall increase in internet crime complaints and losses. The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) received over 880,400 complaints in 2023, with potential losses exceeding $12.5 billion. Investment fraud, including crypto scams, accounted for the largest portion of losses, rising 38% from 2022.
While crypto scams dominated, the report also details Business Email Compromise (BEC) scams targeting businesses and individuals. The FBI emphasizes using multi-factor authentication to protect against these attacks.
The IC3's efforts to prevent scams are noteworthy. Through the Financial Fraud Kill Chain initiative, they prevented losses in over 3,000 incidents, showcasing the importance of proactive measures.
