The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is a U.S. agency dedicated to domestic intelligence and s²ecurity and federal law enforcement. It is under the jurisdiction of the United States Department of Justice; thus, it reports to both the Attorney General and the Director of National Intelligence.[1]
Cybercrime Division[edit | edit source]
National Cyber Investigative Joint Task Force[edit | edit source]
The National Cyber Investigative Joint Task Force (NCIJTF) was established in 2008. This FBI-led task force is comprised of over 30 partnering agencies from across law enforcement, the intelligence community, and the Department of Defense. It is responsible for coordinating, integrating, and sharing information for cyber threat investigations and analysis for decision-makers. It also synchronizes joint efforts to identify, pursue, and defeat terrorists, spies, and criminals.[2]
IC3[edit | edit source]
The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) provides the public with a source for information on cybercriminal activity and a portal for the public to report directly to the FBI when they suspect they have become a victim of Cybercrime.[3] The IC3 uses reported information/tips to find and hold criminals accountable. The information also helps the FBI better understand the motives of cybercriminals, the evolution of the threats they pose, and their tactics.[4]
