INTERNET CRIME COMPLAINT CENTER (IC3)


PROTECT ONE ANOTHER.

The Internet Crime Complaint Center, or IC3, is the Nation’s central hub for
reporting cyber crime. It is run by the FBI, the lead federal agency for
investigating cyber crime. Here on our website, you can take two vital steps to
protecting cyberspace and your own online security.

First, if you believe you have fallen victim to cyber crime, file a complaint or
report. Your information is invaluable to helping the FBI and its partners bring
cybercriminals to justice.

Second, get educated about the latest and most harmful cyber threats and scams.
By doing so, you will be better able to protect yourself, your family, and your
place of work.

Anyone can become a victim of internet crime. Take action for yourself and
others by reporting it. Reporting internet crimes can help bring criminals to
justice and make the internet a safer place for us all.

Protecting our digitally-connected world is a top priority and focus of the
FBI. 
But we can’t do it alone.

Between staying connected with family and friends, shopping and banking online,
and working remotely, we all depend on security in our interconnected digital
world. Criminals from every corner of the globe attack our digital systems on a
near constant basis. They strike targets large and small—from corporate networks
to personal smart phones. No one—and no device—is immune from the threat. The
only way forward is together. In cyber security, where a single compromise can
impact millions of people, there can be no weak links. Every organization and
every individual needs to take smart, reasonable steps to protect their own
devices and systems and to learn how to spot and avoid scams.

The information you submit to IC3 makes all the difference. 

Combined with other data, it allows the FBI to investigate reported crimes,
track trends and threats, and, in some cases, even freeze stolen funds. Just as
importantly, IC3 shares reports of crime throughout its vast network of FBI
field offices and law enforcement partners, strengthening our nation’s
collective response both locally and nationally.

Due to the massive number of complaints we receive each year, IC3 cannot respond
directly to every submission, but please know we take each report seriously.
With your help, we can and will respond faster, defend cyber networks better,
and more effectively protect our nation.

years 2018 to 2022. Over that time, IC3 received a total of 3.26 million
complaints, reporting a loss of $27.6 billion.
