Beware of Internet scams: they warn of an exponential increase in cybercrime

The Specialized Fiscal Unit in Cybercrime of Argentina (UFECI) published today a report on the cybercrime in the country and the exponential growth that this modality of scams had in the last five years.

The paper compared the annual rate of cybercrime of 2020 with that of 2021 and found that in the last year electronic scams and cyber attacks nearly quadrupled nationwide.

Internet shopping scams increased with the arrival of the pandemic and the rise of virtual stores.

“During 2020, an overall increase of 70% was reported in the rate of cybercrime reported: 106% in electronic fraud and electronic purchases and 700% in cases of cyberattacks, hacks and identity theft”.
