Whitepaper

Over the past year, fraud tactics have become more prevalent than ever. This year, Sumsub observed a critical shift—fewer attacks, but significantly more dangerous ones.

Fraud is becoming more organized, more targeted, and poses greater threats to both businesses and consumers. Low-barrier, easily detectable scams are being replaced by multi-layered, coordinated fraud operations.

This report is based on analysis of massive fraud cases, surveys of risk control professionals, and end-user research, making it Sumsub’s most comprehensive annual report to date.
