The $1.8B only represents US losses known and properly classified by the FBI, the real number for global losses will be much higher.

Maybe you should try to learn about how these schemes work before making such statements? According to the FBI, BEC fraudsters took $1.8 billion in 2020 by stealing wire transfers from businesses into their own accounts https://w

But we are seeing banks getting hacked and losing huge amounts of money. Not to mention the billions lost to BEC schemes.

Your mistake, not mine. You’re confusing “legally binding” and “binding evidence”, these are two different things. You will have a bad time if you sign a contract using apple preview and then try to argue that you’re not bound by that contr
