hometown of Sydney, specifically, is a lynchpin into our revenue growth 
strategy in the region. I am beyond thrilled that we're opening the doors to 
Arkose Labs' newest office in Sydney–a budding epicenter of technology and 
innovation. We are deeply committed to this region, especially Australia. Plus, 
personally, it is incredibly meaningful to be giving back to my favorite city 
in the world through job creation and protecting its companies and consumers 
from bad actors."

Arkose Labs' purpose is to create an online environment where all consumers are 
protected from malicious activity. It works with the most recognizable 
companies in the world, including PayPal, Microsoft and Hong Kong Express.

can take action. In conjunction with this new office opening, Arkose Labs is 
releasing fresh threat intelligence specific to the Australian marketplace. A 
sampling of the alarming insights about consumer account-based fraud taking 
place in Australia includes:

    -- Nearly half (44%) of all Australian attacks targeted the media 
       industry in 2021 - this is an 83% increase since 2020  

    -- Another quarter (25%) targeted gaming and 14% targeted tech 

    -- Nearly half of all attacks (44%) were credential stuffing 

    -- One in five attacks were human-driven 

    -- Nearly one in three (27%) attacks were through fake accounts
