Experian’s tenth annual Identity & Fraud Report unpacks the major trends reshaping identity, fraud, and digital trust in 2025. Based on insights from over 2,000 U.S. consumers and 200 business leaders, this year’s findings offer a clear-eyed view of what’s driving concern, where expectations are shifting, and how organizations must evolve to stay ahead.

Key takeaways include:

• Fraud is growing—and changing fast: Nearly 60% of U.S. businesses report higher fraud losses in 2025, driven by more sophisticated attacks and legacy security gaps.

• AI is both a weapon and a shield: 72% of businesses expect AI-generated fraud to be a top challenge, even as more invest in AI to fight back.
• Consumer fears remain high: Identity theft (68%) and stolen credit card data (61%) top the list of consumer concerns—for the second year running.
