FBI 2021 INTERNET CRIME REPORT

This report says that the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) provides the American public with a direct outlet to report cyber crimes to the FBI.  In 2021, IC3 continued to receive a record number of complaints from the American public: 847,376 reported complaints, which was a 7% increase from 2020, with potential losses exceeding $6.9 billion. Among the 2021 complaints received, ransomware, BEC schemes, and the criminal use of cryptocurrency are among the top incidents reported.  In 2021, BEC schemes resulted in 19,954 complaints with an adjusted loss of nearly $2.4 billion.
