The FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center reported that South Carolinians lost $146 million to cyber crime in 2024—an increase of $27 million from the previous year—with older victims suffering the highest losses at $58.5 million.

The report detailed top crimes including extortion, phishing/spoofing, and data breaches along with business email compromises, investment fraud, and romance scams causing the most financial damage.

South Carolina lawmakers advanced House Bill 4163 on April 22nd, which proposes to dissolve the SCHSL and create a state-run high school athletic association governed by an 11-member board appointed by the governor, legislative leaders, and the state superintendent.

Supporters argue the change will boost accountability while opponents worry it may remove experienced educators from key decision-making roles.
