The Rising Tide of Cybercrime

According to Statista’s Cybersecurity Outlook, the financial repercussions of cybercrime are staggering. The global cost is projected to skyrocket from R21.6 trillion in 2022 to a monumental R444.5 trillion by 2027. This escalation is not just a prediction; it’s an imminent reality. Cybercrime, as defined by Cyber Crime Magazine, encompasses a wide array of malicious activities, including data destruction, financial theft, productivity loss, and much more.

Why Are We Facing This Surge?

More people using digital technology, especially because of COVID-19, has given cybercriminals more opportunities. Working from home and using virtual IT systems has made it easier for cybercriminals to find and use weaknesses in security, and they’re getting better at it.

Understanding the Costliest Cybercrimes

The FBI’s 2021 report sheds light on the financial toll of these crimes. With a staggering loss of R130 billion, the most costly cybercrime was business and personal email compromise, targeting wire transfers. Furthermore, investment fraud, romance scams, real estate fraud, and tech support scams collectively cost over R56 billion, with investment fraud being the fastest-growing category.
