Identity Fraud Report 2025-2026

Last year, fraud became more accessible than ever. This year, there is a shift toward fewer but far more dangerous attacks: more methodical, more organized, and more damaging to businesses and consumers alike. Low-effort and easy-to-detect scams are being replaced with multi-layered fraud conducted by coordinated operations.
The question remains: how do businesses shield themselves from these more sophisticated schemes? Identifying which regions are more vulnerable to deepfake content and which sectors are facing dwindling consumer trust is essential. Furthermore, it is critical to determine which trends will disrupt the status quo in 2026.
The answers can be found in the latest report from Sumsub, which is packed with real-world data, expert commentary, and regional analysis. It is their most comprehensive edition to date.
