Cybercrime

Cybercrime is a global phenomenon that does not stop at national borders or closed doors. It can take place anywhere where people use computers, smartphones and other IT devices- in companies, public authorities, universities, at home and on the move.

The special feature of cybercrime is that the perpetrators can operate from almost anywhere in the world and can conceal their tracks relatively well.

To warn the public about current dangers on the Internet, the cantonal police of Zurich operate the website www.cybercrimepolice.ch.

It publishes daily warnings for the public about current and, above all, new cyber threats. This gives all citizens a quick and interactive overview of current threats on the Internet.
