summary
Claims rapid growth from ~$450B in 2016 to ~$6T now and ~57% yearly rise, and shows concrete attacks: a fake USB charger with GSM chip that phones home and installs malware, targeted shipping-label phishing that installs trojans, AI-made deepfakes and lip-sync video from one image, and 7 seconds of voice enough to clone speech.
