answer text <p>The counting rules for crime, including fraud, stipulate that in such cases an information report should be recorded by Action Fraud either through their online reporting tool or via their contact centre.</p><p>These reports are retained in the Know Fraud database as another form of information capable of assisting the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau and UK law enforcement in determining lines of enquiry and protective messaging. The majority of such cases result from e-mails or other cyber based approaches generated in very large numbers and not specifically directed to the recipient.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Reports received by Action Fraud are subject to the Home Office Counting Rules for Fraud and Computer Misuse. In most cases a crime will be recorded where the victim responds to a fraudulent approach (such as a phishing email) but does not incur financial loss.</p><p>Receipt of a fraudulent approach which did not lead to any further action may be reported to Action Fraud but is not counted as a crime. It is instead treated as an information report and is used by the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau to identify links between seemingly unexpected fraud attempts. This situation will remain the same when the improved reporting portal is launched.</p> more like this

answer text <p>To fully understand the threat posed by fraud, this Government recognises the importance of having data which sets out the scale and nature of this type of criminality to then build an effective response. Action Fraud, which is overseen by City of London Police, is the national reporting centre for all frauds and cyber crimes, this is linked with the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau (NFIB), also overseen by CoLP. (The NFIB analyses fraud data to identify links between seemingly unconnected crimes and assess information that may support investigation).</p><p>These capabilities enable policing to gather comprehensive data from the public, through crime and information reports, and wider industry partners, including the banking and retail sectors, to then build a national fraud intelligence picture. The NFIB also collects policing outcome data from all forces to understand impact. To improve data collection, City of London Police is implementing a new I.T system within Action Fraud and NFIB, due to go-live in Spring 2018, which will enhance reporting routes and analytical capability. This will further improve our collective understanding of the fraud threat.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>The four Active Cyber Defence services are described in the National Cyber Security Centre’s Annual Review, published on 3 October 2017. They include working in partnership with industry to implement a series of measures, such as a protective DNS service for public sector to prevent unwitting exposure to known malware and phishing sites. Furthermore, the government will deploy email authenticity measures on government domains to help prevent phishing activity that relies on ‘spoofing’, and encourage industry to do likewise. We will scale up and enhance disruption activities that we already undertake for cyber crime and we have launched a service to help public sector bodies find simple vulnerabilities in their websites.</p> more like this
