Week 52: More focused, more intricate, more sophisticated – almost 65,000 reports submitted to the NCSC in 2025

30.12.2025 - In its final weekly review of the year, the NCSC typically reflects on the reports it has received over the past twelve months. This year, the NCSC received almost 65,000 reports of cyberincidents, which represents a significantly smaller increase than in previous years. Although reports concerning 'calls supposedly from the police' still dominated in 2025, more reports in this category were recorded in the first half of the year than in the second. This decline was offset by a substantial rise in the number of reports concerning 'online investment fraud'. Despite only a moderate increase in reporting volume, scams have become much more sophisticated.
