The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3)
The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) is a partnership between the FBI and other agencies that collects, reviews, and investigates reports of cybercrime and internet fraud. It serves as a central platform where individuals and businesses can report online scams, hacking, identity theft, and other digital crimes. Once a report is submitted, IC3 analyzes the information, shares it with relevant authorities, and provides guidance to victims. Its goal is to help track cybercriminal activities, enhance law enforcement efforts, and protect the public from online threats.
