The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) tallied 269,422 complaints in 2014, totaling $800,492,073 in losses, according to a new report. The center has received 3,175,611 complaints since its establishment in May 2000.
The losses compiled in 2014 are likely much lower than actual internet crime losses. The report states that "Only an estimated 15 percent of the nation's fraud victims report their crimes to law enforcement, while the IC3 estimates less than 10 percent of victims file directly through ww.ic3.gov."

Pay attention to the article https://securityonline.info/cybercrime-is-one-of-the-most-dangerous-threats/, as we live in a digital world and should be more aware of this. However, with some information security measures, you can easily protect yourself from the growing threat of cybercrime.
