Reporting cybercrime in Austria

We've all been victims of cybercrime in some shape or form such as phishing (Wikipedia), identity theft, online fraud and harassment. But what can be done about it here in Austria?

Perhaps like me you have thought about going to the police, but then decided that they wouldn't have the interest, time or resources to investigate.

Well all the answers are online, obviously! All the links below are in German but Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox will translate everything for you.

Online resources

The Austrian government has developed a number of resources. The main starting point is here: https://www.onlinesicherheit.gv.at/public.html. Click on the Meldestellen link to file a report. There are a number of options depending on the type of crime from fraud to misuse of your image online to child sex tourism.

There is a cybercrime office called the Cybercrime-Competence-Center (C4) at the BMI (Bundesministerium Inneres). You can find them online here including an email address for reporting crime: https://bundeskriminalamt.at/306/start.aspx

Please take the time to report cybercrime. Only by doing this is there any hope of fighting the problem.
