Fraud conducted online against UK citizens, businesses and organisations has reached such heights that it now constitutes a threat to the country’s national security, requiring a calculated response from the intelligence services, according to a report published by the Royal United Services Institute (Rusi).
The report, titled
The silent threat: The impact of fraud on UK national security, argues that despite increased attention to fraud – particularly since the advent of the pandemic – the prevailing political narrative doesn’t properly convey the full £190bn impact of fraud on the UK, and the country’s response to it is badly under-resourced, meaning both individuals and organisations are being let down.
