   • The financial impact is staggering, with $2.9 billion lost to Business Email Compromise (BEC) schemes alone, claiming victims in every industry.
2. Sophisticated AI-Enabled Threats
   • Unique attacks resulted in the addition of new threat categories which included including newly registered domains, potential conversation hijacks, and executable files, and more.
   • Multi-layered phishing attacks are becoming more complex, leveraging legitimate tools like Adobe notifications and Constant Contact to deceive recipients.
   • QR codes first made their appearance in 2023 and as we predicted, they continued to grow in number throughout 2024.
