Reporting Cybercrime

When you realize that you have been compromised, for example, you have lost your data, computer, or you have been denied access to the system, report this issue to the person in charge of IT immediately. They should report it to the local field officer of national law enforcement agencies, sector specific agency, and any of the state agencies within your region.

You can also report the breach online via sector specific agency website within your nation, for example, in UK, the issue can be reported at www.ico.org.uk. In Kenya, it can be reported at https://www.ke-cirt.go.ke/

When reporting the incident, give as much detail as possible and be as accurate as you can.

If the crime poses a high risk to an individual’s rights and freedoms, you must inform them without delay.
