Australian Cyber-crime Online Reporting System - Australia’s latest weapon against Cyber-crime…..
ACORN
is a new national policing initiative of the Commonwealth, State and
Territory government that allows you to easily and securely report
any instances of cyber-crime and it also offers advice to help you
recognise and avoid becoming a victim of cyber-crime.
Cyber-crimes could include such things as hacking, online scams through websites or emails, online fraud, online trading (such as eBay or gumtree) and identity theft just to name a few.
ACORN has been developed in order to ensure that the appropriate agency within Australia receives your information.
You no longer have to attend your local police station to report instances of cyber-crime.
To
assist the Queensland Police Service in gaining a national picture of
the cyber-crime issue and to help prevent and disrupt future criminal
activity please report any instances of cyber-crime via the
website:
