As the world becomes more reliant on modern technology, cyber criminals are able to exploit vulnerabilities in our digital systems to steal and destroy our private information and disrupt business operations. From data breaches to ransomware attacks, cyber crime has a devastating impact on individuals and businesses.

The cost of fighting these threats can be significant and goes beyond monetary losses. For example, a company may lose customer trust after a breach and have to invest in rebuilding its reputation. It may also be subject to regulatory inquiries or legal actions.

In addition, cyber crimes can have a psychological impact on victims. They can include feelings of fear, anxiety and betrayal. The unauthorized release of personal information can cause damage to relationships, as well as lead to the loss of employment opportunities or the inability to travel due to visa restrictions.

The FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) and CyWatch work with members of the public to investigate reports of cyber crimes, including extortion attempts and financial exploitation. These efforts have helped to recover hundreds of thousands of dollars for victims, and we are committed to working with our international partners to bring these criminals to justice.
