New Report Alert: Global Fraud Escalating

TransUnion’s H2 2025 “Top Fraud Trends” report reveals that businesses around the world lost, on average, 7.7% of their annual revenue to fraud in the past year. That’s a staggering USD $534 billion in losses.

Some key findings:

- Account takeover incidents have surged: up 21% from H1 2024 to H1 2025, and a massive 141% increase versus H1 2021.

- The riskiest phase? New account creation : 8.3% of those attempts are now flagged as suspected fraud.

- Fraudsters are leaning heavily into scams (authorized fraud) and synthetic identities as primary loss drivers.

This isn’t just a numbers game. For business leaders, security professionals, and fraud prevention teams, these trends are a call to action: evolve your identity strategies, strengthen defenses at every touchpoint, and stay ahead of increasingly sophisticated threats.

A recent security incident involving a third-party service used by Discord may have exposed government ID images of approximately 70,000 users who submitted them during age-verification appeals.

While Discord insists its own systems weren’t breached, hackers also claim to have accessed names, emails, support ticket data, IP addresses, and more. The attackers are reportedly attempting to extort the company.

Discord is notifying affected users, revoking the third party’s access, and working with law enforcement to investigate.

If you ever submitted ID documents to Discord, be extra vigilant:
• Monitor your accounts for unusual activity
• Consider identity protection services
• Change passwords and enable multi-factor authentication
• Be cautious of phishing or scam attempts

Discord blamed the breach on a third-party vendor.
