According to one estimate, Americans receive roughly 50 billion spam and robocalls every year. Emails are worse: over 100 billion spam emails are sent and received globally every day, though most are caught by spam filters. About 4 million records are exposed to hackers daily.
Sadly, this trend will continue, if not accelerate. Scamming costs little and can be done from a safe distance, while the payoff may be worthwhile for the perpetrator even if only 0.00001% of the recipients fall for the scam. Technologies will solve some of the problems, but a new type of fraud will emerge as soon as the old one stops working.
It will be an ongoing battle.
