Scams could now cost Americans $119 billion a year, study finds
According to a new Consumer Federation of America study, Americans lose at least $119 billion annually to scams—far exceeding the FBI's reported $16.6 billion in losses for 2024—based on estimates that only 14% of scams are reported to authorities. Investment scams, particularly "pig butchering" schemes involving fake romantic relationships and cryptocurrency fraud, represent the most economically devastating category, with actual losses estimated at $46.6 billion compared to reported losses of $6.6 billion. The CFA recommends regulating data brokers to reduce scammers' access to personal information used to target vulnerable populations.

Signal and WhatsApp users face sweeping Russian phishing push, Dutch agencies warn
Russian intelligence agencies are conducting a large-scale phishing campaign targeting Signal and WhatsApp users globally, using fake support accounts to steal login credentials and take over accounts belonging to government officials, journalists, and other high-profile individuals. The Dutch intelligence agencies report that Dutch government employees have already been compromised, with similar warnings previously issued by Germany and Google regarding attacks on Ukrainian military personnel and German officials. The phishing attacks exploit the apps' security features—particularly Signal's privacy design that hides phone numbers—making fraudulent "support" messages appear legitimate to users.
