Messaging fraud trends point to smarter attacks, stronger blocking
Telecommunications fraud increased significantly in 2025, with global losses reaching approximately 42 billion dollars as fraudsters deployed new attack routes, tools, and higher message volumes across SMS, voice, and chat channels.
