Forter: Pandemic-fueled fraud trends

Many folks picked up new hobbies during the pandemic – from music to sports to even a change in careers. But thanks to government relief programs (and a lot of free time), some turned to fraud as a hobby, as Forter saw a 35% increase in fraud committed by “non-professional” fraudsters from 2021 to 2022.
