FBI Reports Record $20.9 Billion in US Cybercrime Losses; State-Sponsored Threats Dominate Critical Infrastructure
The FBI's IC3 annual report published April 7 revealed cybercrime losses reached $20.9 billion in 2025, a 26% increase and nearly 400% growth since 2020. The bureau now processes almost 3,000 complaints daily. Data breaches comprised 39% of reported threats, followed by ransomware at 36%. Critical infrastructure sectors bore disproportionate impact, with healthcare experiencing 460 ransomware incidents. The report coincides with CISA's April 7 Iran PLC advisory; state-sponsored actors are increasingly targeting the same critical infrastructure sectors suffering the highest cybercrime losses.
