2026 Issue 2: Cybersecurity
Cybercrime continues to pose a growing threat to Nevada households, with reported losses exceeding $302 million in 2025. While digital tools and connectivity have created new opportunities, they have also introduced increasingly sophisticated risks, particularly for individuals and families with significant assets.
Nevadans filed 13,366 cybercrime complaints with the FBI in 2025, with losses rising nearly sevenfold since 2020. Investment fraud, business email compromise and tech support scams were among the costliest schemes, often relying on impersonation and a sense of urgency to exploit victims.
This issue of the High Net Worth Report explores key cybersecurity trends in Nevada, including the most common types of cybercrime, how scams are carried out, and practical steps households can take to help protect themselves and respond quickly.
