Singapore, July 12 2023 — Group-IB, a global cybersecurity leader headquartered in Singapore, has today published Digital Risk Trends, a comprehensive analysis of the world’s two most common cyber threats: scams and phishing. The average number of scam resources created per brand, defined as the number of instances in which a brand’s image and logo was appropriated for use in scam campaigns, across all regions and industries more than doubled year-on-year in 2022, up 162%. In the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, the rise was even more significant, with this number soaring by 211% compared to 2021. Additionally, the number of phishing websites detected by Group-IB’s Digital Risk Protection in 2022 was more than three times higher than in 2021. These findings build upon the 2022 Global State of Scams Report, published by the Global Anti Scam Alliance and ScamAdviser in collaboration with Group-IB, which revealed that scams caused over $55 billion in damages.
