In fact, cyber criminals reap a windfall from their activities that is estimated to have been $450 billion in 2015 and is anticipated to climb to an annual $10.5 trillion average by 2025. In the United States alone, the FBI received reports of 800,944 cybercrime complaints involving $10.3 billion in 2022. Almost all of that cybercrime began with—and continues to start with—a social engineering concept known as “phishing.” Certain business organizations, among which are those referred to as “financial institutions,” are charged by the FTC with taking particular steps to protect their customers’ financial information.
