What is online crime?
Every year thousands of people fall victim to online

a new national policing initiative to fight online crime.
Common types of online crime include:
• Attacks on computer systems
• Email spam and phishing
• Identity theft
• Illegal and prohibited content
• Online child sexual abuse material
• Online scams or fraud
• Online trading issues
You can learn more about these on the ACORN
website.
