Cybercrime is the use of a computer or online network to commit crimes such as fraud, online image abuse, identity theft or threats and intimidation. As cybercrime becomes more sophisticated, criminals are targeting individuals, businesses, education institutes and governments.
For more information on types of cybercrime, please see the Threats Information page.

After you report
Your report will be referred to the appropriate police jurisdiction for assessment.
The Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) will be unable to advise on the progress of a report as it will be referred directly to police for assessment.
Please note;
- that not all matters will be investigated by law enforcement. However your report assists to disrupt cybercrime operations and make Australia the most secure place to connect online.
- you will not be emailed a receipt of your report due to privacy and security reasons. We recommend that you download and safely store a copy of your report at completion.
- some cybercrime may constitute an offence under Commonwealth and/or state and territory legislation.
