Establishment of the new Cybercrime (CC) Division

On 01/04/2020, the BKA launched its Cybercrime (CC) Division. The new division serves to pool competences with regard to this field of crime, to further develop resources and capabilities and to advance innovations in the suppression of cybercrime. The focus lies on the suppression of cybercrime in the narrower sense, which comprises all offences that are targeted against the Internet, further data networks, IT systems, or their data.
