Reporting Cybercrime in the U.S.

In the United States, how you report cybercrime depends on what sort of crime you’re reporting. In cases of copyright infringement, hacking, and other serious cases you can use the Department of Justice (DOJ) website. They provide a contact list of contact information for various branches of law enforcement depending on the specific crime committed.

If you think that you may have been the victim of an online financial scam then you can lodge a complaint with the IC3. This branch of the FBI deals with complaints such as fraudulent transactions, email phishing scams, and fake clone websites. If you’ve lost money at the hands of online hackers in the US then this is the place to go.

Finally, if you have a consumer complaint, such as misleading advertisements or shady actions by an online store, you can complain to the econsumer.gov website. This site is designed to handle complaints surrounding online stores and sellers. So if you’ve been mistreated by a storefront either in the US or internationally, they’ll be able to help you.

Reporting Cybercrime in the UK

In the United Kingdom, the Crown Prosecution Service offers advice on what to do if you’ve witnessed, or been the victim, of a cybercrime. As well as calling the police on 101 if the matter is urgent enough, you can report crimes through the Action Fraud website.

If cybercrime is more serious, such as those crimes which involve children, then you can report directly to the Internet Watch Foundation. They’re a non-profit organization that seeks to reduce the presence of child-abuse and associated images online. On their site, you can make a report straight from the home page to have images or videos of child abuse removed from the web.
