McAfee Introduces First Online Center to Assist With Cybercrime

The Cybercrime Response Unit provides diagnosis and remediation advice to victims of identity theft, online financial fraud, cyberbullying and other such crimes. Consumers in the United States have lost close to $8.5 billion over the last two years to cybercrime, according to Consumer Reports. In response, McAfee Inc. has launched the Cybercrime Response Unit ( http://www.mcafee.com/us/ ) the first online center to aid the diagnosis of cybercrime and help an individual recover from the crime.

“With physical crime you know right away if your house has been broken into or your car has been stolen, but with cybercrime, it’s not that obvious. Most people don’t even know they’re a victim, and they rarely know what to do next,” said McAfee President and Chief Executive Officer Dave DeWalt. “The Cybercrime Response Unit is an ‘online 911’ that can triage your situation and direct you to recovery. We’ll get you to the right resources immediately. This is part of our continued effort to fight cybercrime.”
