The Washington Times, The Center Square, Breitbart News and The Epoch Times report that President Donald Trump and cabinet officials held a White House roundtable on October 21 on federal efforts against cybercrime. The outlets say Trump told reporters that nearly three-quarters of American adults have faced online scams or cyberattacks, and that reported losses exceed $20 billion. Citing the administration, the outlets say federal law enforcement has warned more than 10,000 Americans targeted by scammers and has stopped at least $1.6 billion in losses this year. Attorney General Todd Blanche, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, War Secretary Pete Hegseth and FBI Director Kash Patel also attended. The outlets point to a March executive order on coordinating against online fraud and an August memorandum authorizing vetted companies to conduct cyber operations against transnational criminal organizations.
