Love-Struck to Bankrupt: The Soaring Cost of Romance Scams Outstripping Ransomware Losses

Swipe right for romance, swipe left for fraud: Hackers charm their way to a 38% surge in crypto-cons, out-scamming ransomware by billions—and the FBI’s just not swiping right on their data. #LoveGoneWrong

Hot Take:

Love hurts, but apparently not as much as the sting of a cryptocurrency romance scam. Who knew that fake sweet nothings could cost more than actual real-life kidnappers? The FBI's latest report shows that while hackers might not be stealing hearts, they're definitely running away with wallets, and the ransomware rascals are just peanuts compared to these digital Don Juans.
