On Wednesday, Breitbart<\/a> posted an article about some of what the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has been doing under the Trump administration.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Recovery Asset Team has denied more than $1 billion in attempted cyber theft since January 2025, which is a 16 percent increase over the same period under the previous administration, the bureau told Breitbart News on Thursday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article notes:<\/p>\n

The intelligence chief said older Americans make up the bulk of the victims. The bureau has referred 99 victims for suicide intervention, seized 584 scam websites, and sent 7,670 fraudulent accounts to private companies for action, according to Fox News Digital.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In May, the bureau reported<\/a> a then-record $8 billion cryptocurrency seizure and 275 arrests in Dubai, where authorities said nine raided compounds each generated about $6 million a year in fraud. An August raid at Cambodia\u2019s roughly 200-acre O\u2019Smach Resort compound involved searches of 28 buildings over three days.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The announcement follows earlier FBI cyber actions Patel has detailed in his weekly updates. In June, the bureau reported<\/a> that FBI Cleveland disrupted a Chinese phishing platform linked to nearly $1.9 billion in losses worldwide under Operation Riptide. In April, the FBI and Justice Department announced<\/a> a scam-center takedown charging two Chinese nationals, restraining about $700 million in cryptocurrency, and seizing 503 websites.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Americans filed more than one million cybercrime complaints in 2025 for the first time in the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center\u2019s history, reporting $20.9 billion in losses, with adults 60 and older accounting for $7.7 billion.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This article should serve as a warning to those of us who lived most of their lives before the cyber age. Never give out any personal or banking information to anyone unless you are sure the person you are talking to or texting actually works for the company they claim to represent. If a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is. It has taken the elderly their whole lives to accumulate whatever wealth they have; they need to\u00a0 protect it by listening to their local law enforcement scam alerts and by thinking carefully before giving any personal information to anyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
