Cybersecurity Ventures and the World Economic Forum report that global cybercrime costs are projected to reach $12.2 trillion by 2031, driven by increasingly sophisticated fraud techniques leveraging AI and social engineering to target organisations.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity.
