THUMB_I075479INT1HOn the occasion of the first anniversary of the launch of the European Cybercrime Centre (EC3), the first EC3 report will be presented to media by Home Affairs Commissioner Cecilia Malmström and the Head of the Centre Troels Oerting on 10 February. It will evaluate how the EC3 has contributed to protect European citizens and businesses and what the main future online threats and challenges to be addressed are.

The main task of the European Cybercrime Centre is to disrupt the operations of organized crime networks that commit a large share of the serious and organized cybercrimes.

Concretely, the EC3 supports operations and investigations conducted by member states' authorities in several areas.

Recent examples include:

  • Dismantling high-tech crimes networks (cyber-attacks, malware);
  • disrupting a network of paedophiles involved in online child sexual exploitation, and;
  • dismantling international networks of organised crime in the area of payment fraud.

Malmstrom and  Oerting will present the EC3 report during a press conference in the Commission's press room. A press release will be available on 10 February.
