Cyber Security Concerns Are Growing: Discover’s Ontario Fraud Pulse 2025

Ontario’s large population, dynamic economic activity and high volume of e-commerce activity make it a hotspot for financial fraud and scams. To better understand how Ontarians are experiencing this threat, Discover—the research arm of Navigator—recently surveyed 4,800 residents across the province.

This brief report explores rising concerns about financial fraud through key demographic lenses. For example, while almost three-quarters (64%) of Ontarians overall feel more vulnerable to financial fraud than just a few years ago, we found that women, Boomers and immigrants to Canada report higher vulnerability.

Whether you work in government, business or civil society these data offer actionable insights to support more informed decision-making.
