The number of sophisticated digital fraud attempts has nearly tripled in 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, according to a Sumsub report cited by Agerpres. The surge is attributed to the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence for creating synthetic identities, deepfakes and autonomous systems capable of executing multi-step attacks without human involvement.
The share of advanced fraud in the total volume of incidents rose from 10% to 28% in just one year, signaling a shift from high-volume, opportunistic attacks to “precision operations” that are significantly harder to detect.
Phishing remains the dominant method (45%), but breaches originating from third-party providers now account for 36% of incidents. Synthetic identities generated using advanced AI models are also becoming increasingly common.
