The FBI is the lead federal agency for investigating cyber attacks by criminals, overseas adversaries, and terrorists. The FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) accepts online Internet crime complaints from either the actual victim or from a third party to the complainant.
Cybercrimes should be reported to appropriate law enforcement investigative authorities at the local, state, federal, or international levels, depending on the scope of the crime, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.

In response to the growing cyber threat, we asked Di Freeze, our Managing Editor, to research and compile this directory of U.S. state and local cybercrime law enforcement contacts. If you’re a business or citizen and have been the victim of a cybercrime, then we encourage you to file a complaint with IC3 and the appropriate local authorities in your state.
