CYBERCRIME

Strengthening the response to cybercrime

Europol established the European Cybercrime Centre (EC3) in 2013 to strengthen law enforcement’s response to cybercrime in the EU and thus help protect European citizens, businesses and governments. Europol takes a three-pronged approach to the fight against cybercrime: operations, forensics and strategy. The specific types of cybercrime in focus are hi-tech crimes, transnational payment fraud, and child sexual exploitation.

Europol’s Internet Organised Crime Threat Assessment (IOCTA) provides a law enforcement-focused annual assessment of key cybercrime developments, changes and emerging threats.
