Identity crimes were on the wane last year, but job scams were on the rise, according to new data from the Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC).
The group’s 2023 report, the 18th it has put out, shows a 118% increase in the number of job scams carried out through websites—most often LinkedIn and other job platforms. On the whole, though, the ITRC said there was a 16-point drop in the number of reported identity crimes.
