81% of digital fraud targets existing customers, AI boosts scam scale, says TransUnion report

TransUnion's 2026 report reveals that 81% of digital fraud attacks exploit existing customer relationships rather than creating fake identities. Fraud losses are estimated at nearly 7% of annual revenue for businesses, with AI enabling fraudsters to automate and scale attacks rapidly. Common tactics include spoofed calls and texts to manipulate trusted communication channels, leading to increased scam and authorized fraud. Industries like retail, financial services, and gaming face varying fraud risks throughout the customer lifecycle. The report highlights the urgent need for adaptive fraud defenses leveraging connected intelligence to protect customer trust and reduce losses.

The 81% rate of digital fraud attacks targeting existing customer relationships provides context for readers interested in fraud trends.
