Online fraud remains one of the most significant cyber threats in Czechia, with no indication of declining activity. During the first quarter of 2026, Online Risk Labs identified approximately 22,000 advertisements published by accounts that systematically disseminate online fraud, with a cumulative reach of 65 million impressions. These campaigns primarily promoted fake investment platforms using AI-generated deepfakes, fake news websites, and the identities of trusted public figures. The findings demonstrate that fraudulent advertising continues to operate at an industrial scale despite ongoing platform enforcement. The report calls for stronger platform accountability and more effective implementation of the Digital Services Act to reduce systemic risks.
