For years, staying safe online mainly meant being wary of suspicious emails. But the Global Fraud Intelligence Report 2026 reveals that the tactics of cyber threats have changed radically.

Ad space Hide

Today, the most successful fraud attempts no longer arrive through inboxes, but rather appear in front of users in Instagram posts, TikTok and Facebook clips.

Because users do not apply the same cautious approach they do when opening emails on social media platforms, they consider sponsored posts or fake celebrity recommendations much more credible. The report indicates that this false impression led to 36% of users interacting directly with these traps carefully prepared by cybercriminals.

The report shows that users are not searching social media for investment opportunities, but rather for content related to daily life, offers and discounts, which is what sophisticated fraudsters exploit to bypass traditional means of protection.

Galatasaray demands at least 35 million euros to sell Davinson Sanchez to Italy's Como

Italian club Como continues its efforts to sign Galatasaray's Colombian defender Davinson Sanchez, one of the most talked-about names in the current transfer market, amid lengthy negotiations that have yet to produce the desired progress with the Turkish club.

According to the available information, Como has reached an agreement with the player himself on personal terms, but efforts to convince Galatasaray's management have not yet produced a result, as the Turkish club's board, which is under heavy pressure in this transfer window, has made its final position clear.

Sources close to Galatasaray's management said the club has effectively closed the door on negotiations by setting an explicit minimum threshold, with the board rejecting any offer below 35 million euros.
